Hello,
today i tested all 45 aircrafts that are available in flightgear
and wrote down all things i noticed that were missing, wrong or not functional
for each aircraft.
The result is this aircraft TODO list, i suggest adding this file to cvs

Hi,
I just noticed the just updated Aircraft Todo List at:
http://www.seedwiki.com/page.cfm?doc=Aircraft%20Todo%20List&wikiid=2418&wpid=142747
There are a couple of issues for the F-16 which I want to address here:
+
f16
I read in the Aircraft Todo Lists of some Aircrafts:
- no jetstream visible
- engine sound in cockpit does not differ from outside engine sound
- no cockpit light at night visible
- engines can't be turned off
Are such things possible in FlightGear?

Wow, good work. I honestly had no idea we had so many; it's been a
while since I counted. :)

You mean some sort of CoPilot?
I didn't knew that, thanks.

Thanks, for having a look on the todo-list.

These two are relatively easy. The "outside" sound handling will
probably require some code, but nothing difficult.

I assume this means contrails? (The "jet stream" normally refers
to the strong west winds above the tropopause in the middle
latitudes of the northern hemisphere).

BTW, I had a look for a X15 3D model a short while ago. There is a new
MSFS/CFS model, but it is not much better than the old one, so I don't
think it is worth it.
Bye bye,

The Hunter in FlightGear does a passable version of heat blur.
