Re: [Flightgear-devel] Flight Sim Development
I've taken the time and summed it up for all those, who don't want to read through all of it. Basically the comments for improvement focus on three areas: 1. Usability - controls said to be confusing ( if your used to msfs/x-plane? ) - new users are clueless how to use FG / features - fgrun is not shipped with FG in most Linux distributions (new users prefer a graphical frontend even on Linux) - tutorials and user education are missed - creating new aircraft is seen as tedious - customizing things by editing files is perceived as too geeky (users would like a GUI for everything...) 2. Performance - framerate is lower than in other flightsims 3. Eyecandy - airplane textures could be of higher resolution - graphics / shading could be improved - scenery is said to be lacking details (objects) - unfinished planes I also noticed many of the features that users say they would like already exist but users simply don't know of them or don't know how to use them (e.g. multiplayer functionality). Since some of this has been already documented, I conclude they have problems in finding the information they need. Overall the comments are mostly positive and especially the Linux-community has been very happy about the progress made in recent versions. Actually many of the complaints made in older posts have been remedied. Also the realism and accuracy is often pointed out as positive. Windows users and MSFS/X-Plane users are a bit more negative in their comments. It also appears many simply don't understand the way open source projects evolve.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] 3D model for Eurocopter Ec 135
Hi, I fixed the problem with the interior - but it stills need a long time to load :-( only 10.000V) @Maik: I hope to get the EC 135 and the ASK 21 in CVS. Both need much work, but I'm sure to go on liek the last days! www.hoerbird.de/bilder/ec135.prototype3.jpg Happy holidays Heiko --- Maik Justus [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: Hi Heiko, very nice.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] C182 patch
Hi Stuart, On Monday 02 October 2006 21:24, Buchanan, Stuart wrote: I've been working on an update to the c182. Improvements over previous version: - Increase in texture resolution and improved textures. Now has a nice blue pin-stripe down the side. - Minor model improvements - pitot tube, wing struts, exhausts, cowl-flaps, re-size of controls. Available from http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/c182.tar.gz Those with long memories may recognize this as pretty much the same patch I submitted months ago, but without a pilot model. I think the current CVS c182 has Dos line-endings, which I believe have caused people problems in the past. Can whoever commits this run a quick dos2unix on the .xml and .ac files please. Done, Thanks. I have done that with two steps, first check in the new changes and then change the line endings in a second separate commit. You may copy away your current model in your cvs checkout to avoid many useless conflicts on the next update. Greetings Mathias - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
