Mainly because almost all are released as Freeware and strictly forbid making any money from them. Freeware licensing is incompatible with the GPL (which FG uses), so we cannot include them in the official project. If you are talking about using .AIR files, they are not completely documented and handle things a bit differently that JSBSim does. I've written a perl script that partially translates an AIR file into JSBSim-speak, but I stopped working on it. Even if we could use .AIR files with FG, we cannot legally include them in the FG project. We could, however, put them on Wolfram's site. -- Cameron Moore [ How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink? ] _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
