Hi Pigeon,
the idea to have a FG-live-CD was great but how you did it is even
greater, my compliments! :-))
I tested it with AMD64 3700, 1 GB RAM, NVidia 6600GT 256 MB
and made 3 long testflights (B1900, C172).
This is what I found (beside all those positive aspects which I can't
mention here :-) ):
- lang=de does not work for me (Y/Z still exchanged, etc.)
- no sound (slider is right, no mute, etc ...)
Though I am working with Win XP I have a Suse 10 Linux install for
experiments. I could *not* install/run FlightGear under Suse until now
but TORCS and other 3d-Games run very well *with* sound!
- my joystick (Saitek X45) does not work correctly.
Without doing anything all buttons are recognized and working, also some
axis (but not calibrated correctly) but *not* the main stick axis (nick
and roll).
I tried to calibrate the joystick with the Debian tool "joystick
calibration". This tool recognized all axis and buttons of my X45 and I
could calibrate them. But after saving it got even worser, FlightGear
did not recognize anything (buttons, axis ..) of the X45.
I don't know whether this live-CD works like other and has some harddisk
space for variables and parameters reserved where the calibration values
would be stored - otherwise calibration is a nonsense because the tool
would try to write on the CD :-/
Ok, even without sound and flying with the mouse and English :-(
keyboard the CD has a high value because I now can try to demonstrate
FlightGear without having to install anything - what some people don't
like - very understandable :-)
But it would really great if you could fix the sound/joystick/keyboard
issue!
Thank you very much for your great work!

BTW: there are two other PCs in the family with other (older) hardware
(=> my kids). I try to test the live-CD on them the next days and report.
