..my impression is this is a "glossy mainstream wintendo sim magazine, for mainstream people who sim-fly mainstream big airlines and other spamcans". Nothing wrong with that. ;-)
..neither FG nor EAA (http://eaa.org/) nor Gnu/Linux is mainstream. You see the similarity? We all _build_ stuff to use. And, we know we are _not_ mainstream. Yet. We're different. Outsiders. Geeks. And _we_ have failed to communicate _that_. ;-) ..IMHO, we should have more "oddball EAA" planes than spam cans and airliners. Blom&Voss 141, Me 323, Me 163, and the Horten Vings, Howard Hughes Spruce Goose, Van's RV3-4-5-6-7-8-9, Rutans Vari-Viggen, VariEze, Defiant, Lancair IV, Colomban Cri-Cri, Zenair CH-801, Ryan "Spirit of St Louis", Leza AirCam, the Hummelbird, the Volksplane etc. ..paragliders, zeppeliners, choppers, blimps, hang gliders, and R/C models: Check out 'http://www.davincitechnologies.com/' for AirplanePDQ, "Simulation requires X-Plane". Wintendo only. ;-) ..we can do better. I'm thinking of talking VariCad (http://varicad.com/) into something similar. They do both OpenGL 3d and develop cross-platform, and, they do it _now_. ;-) ..and we have people like Olivier makeing more cool stuff. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
