That's a fine rule. That's why I used google and grep(1) and locate(1) and find(1) to search for "stopwatch" and "interval timer" and "approach timer". I didn't find any such. > There's actually a very useful stopwatch available from the "debug" menu > (possibly not the most obvious place for it, but I'm not sure I have any > better ideas). Not in my copy of fgfs there isn't. I just re-checked. The word "stopwatch" does not appear in the documentation, i.e. http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/flightgear/ftp/Docs/getstart.pdf I just re-checked. > You can find the code in gui/dialogs/stopwatch.xml Not on my machine you can't. I just re-checked find . -type f | grep -i stopwatch locate stopwatch ================== Believe me, I have less than zero desire to re-invent the wheel. Please be more specific about how users can obtain the pre-existing wheels. Also, a truly nice stopwatch would be documented somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
