I searched for a good, affordable FlightGear tutorial for my German
friends - but was not very lucky.
So I made up my mind to translate the FlightGear Standard getstart.pdf.
Because translating that 218 pages may not be done in a couple of weeks
I just want to make aware of that I started - so
I am very positive surprised that more people are interested in this
project, than I thought! Some even offer actual help! That is very
encouraging for me - I hope that will not get against me when I confess
that I might not just do a word-by-word translation but also get some
proposals for a
Hi Maik,
thank you for offering help in translating your chapter about the
Helicopters. But I am a little confused: I just compared the
getstart.pdf chapter A Helicopter Tutorial with the wiki Flying the
Helicopter - and on first sight they look exactly the same. What I do
not understand: There is
As a long-hour ATC I really got p. (sorry) mad about those planes
popping up on the active during heavy traffic - but it is also obvious
that this happens mostly because of just following the default - as
soon as they know how to do it better they do better (or go somewhere
else). So I suggest
PM: So ATC is restricted to a few 10's of NM to location
Well: with the new FGCOM.Gui http://code.google.com/p/fgcomgui/w/list
the range is equal to MPchat range (99 mi) -- about 200 mi range for
the control circle! Same is true for ATC-model: also ATC-ML (and others)
cover maximal 100 mi
As someone doing ATC 4 days/week, I would like to bring in another point
of view to this issue:
Very definitely we need such a tool for the environment Stuart described
as the main use-case are pilots wishing to practice .. ATC-controlled
environment. And I agree, those (like e.g. the TGA-events)
Thanks Stuart for the explanation - and I guess I understand now how it
shall work in an event with a group of people having the same goals and
settings (e.g. TGA). Although I still see the possibility that some

making as much

thanks for the flowers.
But really it is just because I am a little lazy and thus tried (for
about 2 weeks) to get it done simple and without rework when
transferring formats.
Let me try to explain: I did it on an Linux/Ubuntu with OpenOffice - and
thus I started there - and after
I tried to find some more sources to trust on the correlation between
Banking and Turn-rate. But the only one I found stating a direct
relationship, and backing that up with a nice formula is our FlightGear
Manual (FlightGear-2/data/Docs/getstart.pdf, page 101, ch. 7.4 Basic
Turns) which I try to
Just to second that:
As ATC in EDDF I had several people experience that totally white
scenery - especially 1 guy coming regularly from EETN to EDDF - he
experienced that about 1 out of 3. And it usually happens just during
final.
In the meantime that guy experiences lots of FGFS-crashes already
As a guy who gets insulted about every second day while trying to
enforce proper ATC onto everybody approaching EDDF I surely would
support a system which could solve that problem - if I just had the
slightest idea how to overcome the following questions:
# How can we avoid that somebody (who
No idea if somebody noticed already - because I have a little unusual
setup in my FG_Scenery (FGrun page 0):
1) Scenery-EDDF-papillon... (new rw's in EDDF, not yet in TS)
2) Scenery/TerraSync (marked with new T)
3) Scenery (standard)

Sorry - I do not understand your answer:

about your answer??

It seems to me that this becomes a never ending discussion. For me it
