While I agree with your demand to keep fgfs cross-platform, which is one of its central properties, I don't buy the "90% of the fgfs users are on Windows" myth. This is solely based on Curt's download statistics and thus completely flawed. 1. download != use 2. flightgear.org isn't the only source Sure, many more MS Windows users may download fgfs from flightgear.org. They don't have any other relevant download source. Most of them probably decide to stick with their "free" (= illegal) copy of MSFS, because it's "just prettier". Linux users will tend to stick with fgfs, because there's just no alternative on Unix/Linux. But they probably download much less from flightgear.org, but rather from their distribution's repository (cvs/apt/yast/...) m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
