... but forgot to mention a link ... :-) The 787 is really the only airliner to show off! All others have one or the other nice strong side (mostly nice 3D models), but none is as complete. I haven't yet commented on what the 0.9.11 release should contain, but for me the 787, the A-6E and the A6M2 are candidates. (And frankly, the Rascal and the wrightFlyer just aren't.) But there are problems with the 787: - the naming of the *-set.xml files is *BAD*. This shouldn't be 787-set.xml, AN787-set.xml (What?! Antonov-787?), CO787-set.xml, and FC787-set.xml. The principle should be to name the generic type first, and further details then. that is: 787-set.xml, 787-AN-set.xml, 787-CO-set.xml, 787-FC-set.xml Please fix that. Starting with "random" letters makes the aircraft hard to find in sorted lists, or when using command line completion. (http://members.aon.at/mfranz/flightgear/fgfs.bash). (There's a reason why iso dates are YYYYMMDD, not the utterly braindead MMDDYYYY. :-) - the chase view doesn't "chase" the aircraft, but its view point is in *front* of the aircraft, which is very annoying. The cause seems to be a "funny" <z-offset-m> setting instead of a correct <chase-distance-m> setting. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
