Re: [Flightgear-devel] Concorde textures

hi Thobias, If the textures are GPL compatible (which I presume they are) then the author of the Concorde will pick them up from the forum and incorporate them in his latest version (with full credit to you). Most recently, I've been taking up responsibility to merge these changes back into GIT

This discussion has branched out in a couple directions, but let me just share a couple of my own thoughts. 1. I've been playing around with wordpress for my own selfish purposes: http://www.flightgear.org/blogs/category/ I *really* like wordpress. It's slick, it's well done, it's well conceive
