Dave I committed a new facility for the A4F yesterday. It now has a functioning AAR capability with YASim, like the one already available for JSBSim. ... Great. I can't wait to try it out. BTW, now I can stop using the T-38 as a refueling demonstrator :) It's still a radar

Are such mirrors used in Civil Aviation A/C too? Yep, those that are towing sailplanes sometimes have a mirror. That should be an interesting thing for multiplayer: one pilot flying the towing plane and one is in the sailplane. Torsten ---

The usual way (the only one?) to create mirrors is to render the scenery (at least) twice. I wonder if it's easy to implement, I don't know how SimGear/Plib handle that (if it's even possible). That should not be a real drop down in performance since the mirror has a very small area to

Anyone here know if the A-4 had a pitch SAS? Dave Dave: It seems that in the pitch channel for the A-4 the pilot commands normal acceleration. The Az error is computed, and that is differenced with pitch rate. That error drives the elevator. See the A-4 section here:

I'd suggest you use a BitTorrent tracker too. You will only need to make a seeder host stay online for the time you like and download/upload bandwidth will be shared among clients. Big files like .iso images are well distributed inside such p2p networks. Roberto
