Yep. Not to underestimate the coolness of the simulated B747, P-51D, F-15/6/8, C-172, etc., but I believe it is important to underscore the worldwide developer/user participation by visibly featuring international aircraft. I was glad to see an A-320 (sorry AKP! ;-), among others. I'd like to see a Macchi MC.205, personally (fine Italian WWII fighter). Perhaps with the introduction of David Culp's Aero-Matic we might come up with some quick and dirty models. http://www.flightgear.org/aeromatic/ Jon _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
