Hello All,

  I'm a newby to FlightGear and the lists having gotten fgfs V0.9.10
  about two weeks ago. I am quite excited about FG as it seems to be a
  good way to answer M$'s FS X.

  At first I had problems with FG, specifically that it didn't work
  well with my joypad, a Century Concepts Int'l Limited, Made in China
  cheapo, but all I can afford. So I started reading and found out how
  to write my own XML Driver. I've attached it to this message as I'm
  hoping it will help others. Still no feedback but I understand that
  this is a problem with plib and not FG. Perhaps the solution to that
  would be to fix plib?

  I have a few questions, so I put on my asbestos underwear before I
  sat down to write in the hope that they will protect me from the
  inevitable "Read The Fine Manual" (RTFM) flames. 8=))

  I work mostly in Windows these days. I have all the Version 8
  (Express Edition) compilers including C++. Mostly I program in
  BASIC, PureBasic to be exact, though I am a skilled C programmer.

  I would like to know:

  a) What's the preferred Windows CVS tool?

  b) How do I find and access your CVS repository?

  c) Is the code in the repository compatible with M$'s V8 compilers?

  d) What do I have to have from the repository in order to compile it
     with M$'s V8 tools and end up with a working FS?

  e) If I extract the contents of fgfs-win32-20061024.zip and
     data.tar.gz to a different FlightGear directory than the one
     setup by FGFS 0.9.10 can I copy the missing contents e.g. fgadmin
     and the other programs in the /bin/win32 directory to the new
     directory and have a fully working copy of FG?

  I hope I'm not being too much of a pain in the behind with all these
  questions and your answers will be much appreciated, yes even the
  flames as long as they contain some information I don't know.

Best regards,
 Magus
