I have an 8 month backlog and must have missed things here. ..water is modelled as an ice surface now, which flexes for all sea planes now, or do these have "logic wheels" deep inside their floats? ..one easy test would be nose-it-over in water and see how it floats. ..what I like to see happen, is 0.9.11 add at least sea floor map data in the 0.9.11 scenery, water as a fluid and sea level rise could come next in say 0.9.12 or 0.10.0. ..I like to see "sea level rise" at least set-able like in a menu, no later than FlightGear-1.0. ..1.0 is "big" enough to have the press test FG-1.0, and being able to set a realistic date like 11/20-2345AD would warrant at least setting a viable corresponding realistic sea level, eh? ;o) ..and, it _would_ help modify public impression of us in a way I believe could be _very_ useful and even profitable. ;o) ..reason I'm looking for takers anyway, is I don't wanna waste _our_ time on learning something you can do better than me, when that means something I can do and that you can not, get stalled. Let's just say for now I'm pulling some strings and I like the responses I see. ;o) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
