Aw, c'mon. Can't we have just a little hoopla? I hate anonymous
donations

Don't all of our aircraft fit into that category?

I've checked in a change that changes the location of FlightGear's base

you know,
i've been thinking about the nature of bandwidth, storage and mirrors as it
relates to open source for a while as I've seen bandwidth and mirroring
discussions before.

It occurred to me that our 3-D modelers might not all be running plib cvs.
Andy came up with an excellent improvement to the ac3d loader/optimizer (new
optimizer actually) that incorporates logic to automatically split vertices in
two so that they go into seperate normal calculations (averages).
The autopilot is broken, and who knows what else because someone decided to
rename some of the properties being written by the GPS module. This isn't a
serious problem but the change hasn't been announced here or even mentioned in
the cvs log.
Anyway, this is the announcement we should have gotte
