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

2004-09-15 Thread Georg Vollnhals

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
