You can download/update scenery directly from FlightGear now (main menu: Environment => Scenery). Credit for the idea goes to James - bugs are mine ;-).For the record, I don't think we are going in the right direction with this. I personally think more modules should be split out rather than integrated. For example, all the GUI stuff should be thrown out and left to a launcher/control console application. We could then get rid of plib and avoid the "what gui toolkit to use" controversy (at least for the core FG). FDM and visualization should also be split, obviously with multiple instances allowed of either.
I really, really, like this idea. When was the last time CAE shipped a simulator that had a drop down menu appear in the visual system? :)
All the functionality in the GUI could be provided in a stand-alone tool that talked to the simulator. You could run it on one machine or on a dedicated machine.
