I was ... but Syd raises a couple of other good points: It wouldn't hurt to make the --aircraft=... option a) insensitive to hyphenation, and b) accepting of unique abbreviations as well as c) insensitive to case.

This seems like an obvious step in the direction of user-friendliness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
