Hi, all:
I've just compiled the latest FlightGear. It runs, but heaven help me if
I should try and switch from the FlightGear window to another window
in X. The sound ends and X becomes unresponsive. I can't even switch to
a virtual console. I have log in from another machine and reboot in
order
I'm glad it's not just me, then! I'm struggling with a *very*
simplified C152!
Cheers,
Matt.

Ah, I get it. How about "/sim/lsd"?
Kidding aside, it'd be better to have individual switches and values. Might
be good to start a "/sim/sky" path for configuring th

I think that answers it -- two European swallows with a computer
carried between them tied to their feet.

Is this a problem in the C code or is it in the xml file for the instrument.

Yes, it's got A320-200 metrics and 737 aerodynamics. The engines are higher
thrust versions of the CFM-56.

I am still using blender 2.23 with the old python script (on windows).
No problem here.
