Hi, Just discovered Flight Gear last night, and it installed relatively well, apart from the missing fs_os.cxx problem which I finally tackled by using the file from CVS (before I had the chance of reading Erik's comment on the tarball hickup)... Anyway, great work you guys have already done!
But I'd be interested to know if there has been work, support or propositions to make a GUI application to generate and pass command line options to fsgs... Not that I'm not used to command line parameters, but sometimes, you just want to hit ENTER and jump into the action. So I figured that making either an ncurse and/or X/KDE/gnome front end user interface to generate parameters, like selecting the airport from a list instead of typing it manually, same with airplanes, and also to enable or disable certain options would be appreciated by "the public". The way I see it, I'd do a wrapper which would generate the appropriate command line $options, call "fsgs $options", and depending on how we see it's use, it could kill fsgs and restart it with new $options if the users wishes so... This is similar to what M$ FS2X does, with a welcome splash screen where you can set the weather, flight plans, aircraft, fuel, airport, etc. Then, you call the flight environment itself. Any ideas? If not for others, I'll do it for myself in ncurses... _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
