Hello, I take acknowledge of the Curt mail about my whitdraw from the CVS, and of the different answers to his question.
When i sent the mal to Curt , which inform him that i will not longer maintain the CVS models ( from me) , my target was ONLY to ask him to delete my right access , in order to avoid any security risk, since, sometime i got the help of friend to commit to CVS my prepared update. ( i explained previously on that mailing, i am not ever close to my main keyboard ). My target was not ask to remove these outdated and dieing model. Curt is right to ask the question, the amount of models which are in CVS is so important that it takes now a long time to update the entire data folder, then, the not useful models could be removed. However, i don't mind if they remain in CVS, and like it has been said, i go on to update the same models ( not exactly the same content ), with a lot of others new Aircrafts which were never committed within CVS ( because not well advanced , or not FG 1.9 compatible ). All of them are available on my URL Link. It was one case in the paste time, i asked to Curt to remove from CVS one model, the case was when i started to make the F8 ( 2005, FG 0.9.8 ) built on the base of a supposed coming new feature for FG regarding the Carrier function within JSBSim. Unfortunately the release of FG 0.9.9 did not take that Carrier feature. Only an external patch was available. So, the F8, not working, was removed, on my request. That model was downloadable free on my URL with the FlightGear JSBSim carrier Patch attached. In parallele an other model, French Corsair, F4U-7 was made available with the same conditions. Then, both were flying with FG 0.9.9 patched ( anybody could enjoy it ). I committed again ( september 2008 ) the F-8E, not the "Dubbed for French Only F4U-7" ( was said here, =>no duplicate models<=) when the JSBSim <external_reactions> had been officially usable. That new feature gives only a part of the Carrier feature , the hook/wires, is fully included within JSBSim, only missing the entire catapult feature. With the catapult the external force can be acted from any place ( like it is in use with the nice the Dave Culp's Aircraft ). The entire Catapult feature was solved by me with a specific configuration of the model FDM and bunch of .xml files, which include an automatic taxying. That is not the best approach ( it is a DIY solution, not professional ), since it is not generic , each model has its own customized bunch of files. Why i whitdraw from any official "contribution" ? => it is the consequence of an addition of misunderstandting ( let's say from me ) , probably because, i did not explained that i only offer my "work" with the content and the shape which are from me, i am not a soldier who obey to the command, requiring to be FG QUALIFIED Doctor "Honoris Causa" by some developper :) => it is the consequence of a lot of aggressives behaviour against me ( not my work) coming mainly from the French side, like this, http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=46E80EDC.4070901%40free.fr&forum_name=flightgear-devel These aggression started with the deliver of the SR71-Blackbird, and later on followed by the PBY-Catalina ( 18 months ago). And, along some others mails, chats, forums,.... the desire ( with insults ) said to get me out from FG. Like it is said "enough is enough". The last event on that mailing list was "the straw that broke the camel's back". Though it was not exactly a "straw" rather an other heavy payload :) Yes, i should have never asked for committing any models. Yes, i should have at least stopped any contribution before today (2007-09-16) when i said that i will give up. Sorry, It took some time, before my decision. It would have done before nowaday , for the health of the community, in order to avoid any noise, at least coming from me. Officially i remain ONLY a user, though i ever considered that i was mainly a user, who like FG.
