Do the aircraft follow taxiways and park at gates or ramp designations?
That's the ultimate goal. For the current code, ie. for testing, I created an
xml file containing parking location and orientation information, which

This is bordering on FUD
Exchange formats are designed to capture common information for many

You need to distinguish open specs from open formats. For example,

He's making a legitimate point, not trying to mislead people into

since we can compress the files on disk with gzip?
Do you completely hand edit the XML?
Do you plan

Yes, if you standardise on one or two standard formats, the PLIB
loader will be important.
In fact, it seems like all the plib loaders (except for the
ad/ssg loaders) have

to edit the models with any non-plib based modelers, and I'm not aware
of any plib-based modelers that are far enough along to be useful.

However, PPE is nice as a converter

If they could fix the .ssg endianness problem in the process I'm all for it.
Sounds good :-)

I think you guys are speaking aside each other.
Curt wants to allow different modellers.

I have looked through the documentry within FlightGear, but I can't seem to
find the answers to the following questions.
How does the hydraulic system work in FlightGear? How do I create it?
For an electrical system, can the bus takes on other types of value other than
integer?
How do I
These issues have been brought up before but I decided to refresh everyone's
memory seeing as XP users keep coming to the IRC channel and asking the same

I hand-edit the animations, but eventually, we could look at something
more standardized.
Do you plan to keep it that way?
Since Blender has scripting support, it would be possible
