BTW, was at a conference last week on PC-based simulations. One presenter from AFRL (Air Force Research Labs) did a survey of major flight sim programs. The three top systems were MSFS, X-Plane, and Flightgear. FG matched up nicely in all areas except documentation, but it was cut a little slack being an OSS program. The presenter was reviewing the 1.0 version. Curt will get a copy of all the presentations; might want to excise that portion and post it Since Curt was having all kinds of fun cruising the Pacific, I had to expand on FG capabilities not discussed. Since the docs are thin in some areas some of the features of FG were not covered. However, while presenting the use of FG and JSBSim on the 747 project, I was able to fill in and add some areas that were not covered, most notably the transition to OSG and AI stuff. Another interesting tidbit, during the RedHat presentation on virtual machines a show off hands from the audience showed a majority (60%) were linux users.... interesting.
