Oh good, someone else agrees with me :-) The email maybe sounded a bit more harsh than I intended but runaway a/c is something I have never got used to in FG (read, annoys me intensely every time!) I suppose checking that I'd closed the throttle on the JS would help when starting up, but on the carrier that's still not enough. Regarding the ground crew, I actually had thoughts about a "simulated" ground crew for the Camel, mostly for startup (obviously the Camel had no starter mechanism). I wouldn't like to attempt to animate 3d models of the crew, but the conversation (which after all is the important part) could be fairly easily done I think, maybe with the "tutorial" stuff. All I need now is some spare time, but I'm getting less of it rather than more at the moment :-| Cheers, AJ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
