Aircraft in CVS are easily fixed during the development cycle, thus are likely to be working as expected until the next release (if they fail at all, which is expected to be very unlikely). The maintainers of 3rd party collections are having plenty of time until the next release to get their stuff adjusted accordingly. There's no point in trying to prevent people from improving FlightGear as long you don't identify a _real_ issue, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
