I have informed have informed the people involved in building the windows and mac versions, as well as those in charge of pushing the source on the mirrors about the exact location, so if no unexpected problems arise, a 1.9.1. bugfix release should be available soon. I've just committed two more of Csaba's division by zero and initialization patches to cvs and maint. They were submitted a while ago and should go into 1.9.1. I promise I'll stop now :) and can tag the current maint head as 1.9.1 in git if you'd like.

For the past couple years, MS has been flooding the market with their commercial-level ESP development environment, for high-end users ..what's an high end user? and developers. They have been pushing commercial licensing with a new front-end SDK into (what I am told) is the MSFS back-end (FDM, visuals, etc). ..freebee lock-ins? Or does people pay money for these kits? If we are talking about add-ons such as higher resolution scenery packs or complete planes that are not included in the base MSFS package. Yes, there is a sizeable market out there for this type of thing. Grab a copy of PC Pilot (UK based magazine) and start reading. The tutorials at the back of the magazine is rather good with Jeppensen maps covering the departure and arrival airfields. There have been some pretty neat things to come out of this so far--just Google Flight1 and have a look at some of the things they have done. The Elite guys tell me that this is all done with the new ESP SDK. There may not be a game called MSFS any longer--but FS isn't going away by any means...at least not from what I've been told by several people active in the market.

[Flightgear-devel] Interesting FlightGear Job Opportunity (NASA Ames)
Hi, I am posting this on behalf of Glenn Meyer @ NASA Ames who is looking to find a skilled FlightGear developer for a 4-6 month full time contracting opportunity. I believe there is some flexibility with how the arrangements could be setup, so if you think you might be interested and have some availability, and if you think you have some of the requested skill set, please feel free to contact Glenn. (Glenn's contact info is at the end of this message.) Job Description: Four-month contract, full-time plus, integrating simulation testbed with proprietary and OpenSource simulation systems. Responsibilities will include: Helping integrate a multisystem UNIX- and Linux-based flight simulator application with FlightGear, OpenSceneGraph and proprietary cockpit instruments and software. Intimately understanding, integrating and sometimes modifying FlightGear and OpenSceneGraph to interface with an in-house simulator application. IPC, graphics, general application, and possibly real-time programming will be involved. Experience: Minimum 5 years, ideally 7-10 years of C/C++ programming experience with 5+ years Linux/UNIX experience. Must have -- experience with FlightGear development and FlightGear internals. Experience with OpenGL and Linux/UNIX-based 3D APIs such as OpenSceneGraph and Performer is preferred. Experience with shared memory and sockets programming is required. This is a senior level applications development role.
