Thanks David. I'll try that out! I wrote my own little playback routine (so I can replay flights from a .csv file). Do you all have plans to incorporate such a thing in FlightGear? I can run forward or backward using the joystick to control the speed. Mark -Original Message-

I've committed CVS changes to begin an XML-configurable GUI. It's far from ready for end-users, but I need early implementors to start playing with what's there so far and to try making their own, simple dialogs using XML markup. To see an XML-configured dialog for a fancy FlightGear hello

[Flightgear-devel] Parachute for C172

I found a Flight International around work today when I was waiting for someone. It has an article about an emergency parachute system on some plane (I forget which), and I think it said you could get them for C172's and another Cessna... So how long before I can land my fgfs C172 by parachute?

Hi all, I'm working on getting the small plane to taxi back in after flying a circuit, so I'd appreciate some input from the pilots from the list on real-life taxiing. What sort of speeds are typical during taxiing on the runway, on a large taxiway, on a small taxiway between rows of parked

I was having a look at the piston engine start-up code. I absolutely love the way it chugs away for a second or two and then coughs into life - the sound effects really make it - but I wanted to make the speeds and stuff more realistic. Looking at the JSBSim engine code, it uses lots of
