[Flightgear-devel] next release - ac that don't work

2004-09-15 Thread Georg Vollnhals
Hi all, I have to correct a typo of my last message: "watching the temperature of the working part (N4).". It should read "watching the temperature of the working part (T4)."

Hi ! Thanks for the answers so far, I was already playing around with the gui.nas file, will have to look into it in more detail in order to see how to get the positioning part done, though. I will get back to the original replies within the next days, but a quick question: is there any way to make

The problem with smaller movies is that we loose some details... Thanks to Martin the real flight video is now available at : ftp://ftp.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Misc_ols/ If both videos (real and FG playback) are started at the same time we have a good idea of the accuracy/limitations of GPS-F
