This seems to be circulating around the net. My apologies if everyone has seen it. Not sure that it is "authentic". I hope it isn't "political" (don't think so). But, it is kinda interesting. Best, Jim > > > > > Subject: Night Flying in Iraq off the Theodore > Roosevelt CVN 71 in the Med.

[Flightgear-devel] OT: First Flight

2003-04-03 Thread Matthew Law
Well, I said I was going to do it and a freak combination of holiday and nice weather made me jump in the car and drive to the Sheffield Aero Club far earlier than planned. After the obligatory cup of tea and handover of £92 I found myself sat in a C152 by the name of http://www.sheffair.f9.co.

The model code is returning a "not found" error (can't find a named object) if the object is a simple triangle or rectangle surface. There may be certain other conditions for this to happen, I haven't gotten that far. Just thought I'd mention this in case someone following plib closely knows of a
