Although i agree with you here, someone has to make these 3D textures. I have created some 2D textures and that was already quite difficult. While I deffinately like to have some more SGI(Irix) developers over here, if there are no 3D textures available for me to use it's likely i don't spent time in useing them :-) > physically installed in existing Sim settings, so if we want to be > able to make inroads into those systems (and get to play with them) > then we also have to be able to run (as best we can) on the unfeatured > machines beforehand, to establish feasibility and get that access. That's the exact reason I keep pushing to get FlightGear working on Irix. I don't have a high-end machine but what works for me works also on a mult-head onyx-3000 with 1024 processors ;-) Erik _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
