5) Around the default KFSO, the framerate is way slower than in e.g.
Slovenia. Is there any way to fix that (I know there are way more
objects, but still I think it should be faster than 6 FPS when looking
to the city or airfield)
Is that fps in cockpit view or

1) In mode 24 bpp, FlightGear ran faster than in 16 bpp (I also switched
the Xfree depth to 24 and 16 then). Is there any known explanation (I
haven't made benchmark, but judging by the eye I thought it was faster)
I was intensively thinking about changing the current keys sets for
viewing around. By combining Falcon and Flanker key sets, I've come to
the following conclution:

we can optimize the graphic engine, not to be so slow in 3d cockpit

never solved due to untouchable source code later

Nice aircraft also the 100 to.Noticed that it (f50) seemed a little touchey
on pitch but nothing bad.
Also on a different subject.The maintance hangar at KSFO does not seem to be
in the stg file yet.If not what are its co ordinates.Is it the United
airlines hangar.If so which one.
Hello,
can you tell me the format of the .btg-files, and if it is possible to get a
more detailed shape of the mountains by manually adding some points to the
landscape definition?

This is the purpose of fgsd ( http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ ). Still work in
progress though.

I'm no 3d modeling expert, but I have yet to see any 3d modeler with a

No. Cylinder Head Temp is usually used to help you assess the health of
your engine. If it is running too hot it is likely to shorten the life
of the engine. If it is running really hot then it's

so just today I downloaded the plib, SimGear and FlightGear
all CVS,
the plib didn't compile at start, I had to comment out line 146
from the file plib/src/ssg/ssg.cxx
ssgAddModelFormat ( .asc, NULL, ssgSaveASC ) ;
after that the plib compiled ok, the SimGear compiled out of the box..

CHT itself doesn't have a switch, it is purely a measurement. _However_

Ok, I'm probably confusing the switch then.
I resized and enhanced the photos and have attached the new one I made from
it.
Is that 4 position switch for the C HT or am I totally wrong on that?
