Hi, Problem with orbital flight in FlightGear, is the scenery cache gets bogged down fast enough as it is. I believe I saw a comment about that, perhaps in the last month, that the tile cache doesn't get deleted properly. Of course, not a problem for normal aircraft, or "short" flights.
The danube model may not be designed for real-world flight, and it would take me quite a while to learn how to integrate it with yasim, but with the exception of VTOL, I am quite happy with the way it flies with the ufo logic. More spacecraft here and there? :) Like shuttles flying in and out near the SFO bay bridge, just like in the movies. Don't give any ideas... :D Stewart R. van Steenbergen wrote: > I'd really like some more spacecraft popping up, such as Serenity from > Firefly, which is actually a model based on real-world aviation > principles (e.g. has VTOL with reaction jets, etc.).
