It is beyond me why nobody seems to understand the purpose of the UFO. It was never meant to be a serious aircraft. It is the scenery exploration tool. It doesn't need to have a cockpit or a "realistic" FDM. It uses up 76 kB uncompressed, and 10.8 kB compressed! Even the NEWS file is 23 kB big -- compressed! - it is fun to fly, maybe the only thing that (younger) children can really enjoy fgfs with (apart from santa, of course) - it is very helpful for exploring the scenery; this may even motivate people to populate the scenery with buildings, and to commit them and other things - it is useful for making scenery screenshots (unlike santa) - heck, it only uses 10.8 kB (ten point eight kilo-bytes!) It's not the UFO that's superfluous, but the discussion about its removal. I wouldn't even list it as an aircraft that's up for discussion. Sheesh. m.
I agree with Melchior on this.I found it very usefull when I was playing around with the AI for Durk awhile back.But seeing I have about 15 copies of it it wouldn't bother me.
