For other aircraft authors (or even those who aren't, but would like to contribute their knowledge of various flight procedures etc), I'd encourage people to have a look at adding more tutorials. The process is really not very difficult (reading the existing examples should be quite sufficient documentation) and as usual help can be had from here or the IRC channel. These tutorials can be a big help to people just starting out with FG, and are so much better than a dry description of processes. I'm also certain that with a little imagination our (amazingly flexible) "tutorial" system can be abused a bit to add all sorts of other interesting functions and scenarios into FG ;-) Cheers, AJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
