May I add just a short reminder to this discussion .... This does not
belong _directly_ to this topic, still I hope it might bring this
discussion with its feet back to the ground.

John, a significant part of introducing yourself to the list - the one
our readers will probably remember best - was you strongheaded
instisting of how to read VOR radials. The discussion spawned quite
some days and almost everybody on this list who's involved with
aviation certainly knew you were wrong.
Now, after this experience, if you really want to make people believe
that your opinion is "correct", then you'd probably better take an
approach that differs from this "I'm a real-world kind of guy"-way.
People remember this 'game' and chances are low that they're going to
believe in it.
The readers of this list are more likely to trust you if you try to
convince them with reasonable arguments instead of trying to force
facts upon them.
I'm certainly pro making FlightGear as realistic as possible, still
there are different ways to get there.
Cheers,
Martin.
