Hi all,

I'd be very grateful if one or two of you could download and test my latest ATC/AI 
patches before I commit them, since I'm not entirely convinced I've got all the 
possible crashes out of them yet.

The patches are at

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/ATCPatches040119.tar.gz

Do a make clean in the ATC directory of a reasonably up to date cvs checkout, and then 
unroll the tar file there (in the ATC dir) - it replaces Makefile.am and all the 
source files, plus a couple extras.

The patches add random VFR GA traffic at towered airports, with the exeception of very 
major one's such as KSFO.  User communication with tower when inbound is possible by 
tuning to the correct frequency, and pressing the ' key.  In general, one first 
contacts the tower for a VFR arrival about 6 - 10 miles out.

As regards the crashes, at one point I was getting an inexpicible crash right at 
startup, which gdb indicated was from sgLoad3dModel called from AIMgr::init.  I can't 
understand why it would crash there, and it only happened on Linux, and from one CVS 
tree.  I'd be interested in whether anyone else gets it.

Other than that, I *think* I've got all the common crashes out whilst actually 
running, but if folk could give it a good work out under gdb and report any crash bt's 
that would be much appreciated!

And finally - some indication of the effect on framerates that folk get on various 
equipment would be interesting.  There might be some scope for more aggressive LOD on 
the models I've used (the yellowish dpm cessna and the white pa28-161), the wheel's 
aren't LODed I don't think for example.

TIA

Cheers - Dave
