Wouldn't you just divide up the year into 100 equal divisions and call each of those a day? That way you the seasons would be fixed relative to the calander. Then you could have 10 deci-years (months?) and 100 centi-years (days?) Of course you wouldn't want to call it a year because that would imply the old system so we'd have to come up with something else. Being a one time battle star galactica fan, we could borrow from that. Let's root out the last vestiges of inconsistancy! :-) Curt. -- Curtis Olson IVLab / HumanFIRST Program FlightGear Project Twin Cities [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minnesota http://www.menet.umn.edu/~curt http://www.flightgear.org _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
