Hi all

I announced a new beta release for testing in the forum today. This OSX 
testing version comes with built-in OSG 3.0.1 and a preview of current 
sg/fg/fgdata branch "release/2.4.0". Windows and Debian/other version 
will follow soon (meantime you can pull master tag 2.4.0b4 and build FGx 
yourself).

FGx branch master:

Tracker:

How to compile FGx for Debian:

Many thanks goes to main contributors Pete Morgan and Geoff McLane. They 
helped to improve FGx, spending "weeks of work" for adding a lot of new 
features, making FGx cross platform, getting better code, finding and 
fixing issues here and there ...

Some of this new FGx features:
* New map tool for starting position, also by doubleclick on the map
* Wizard: Set paths with a wizard to your custom installation of FlightGear
* Expert Options for additional command and environment arguments or for 
setting a specific runtime directory, advanced command preview, version 
support
* View metar of choosen airport
* Settings: Save and load profiles
* Telnet support: browse current property tree of FlightGear
* Log: huge new log capabilities to log everything you need, view logs 
separately in a FGx window
* Debugging mode: New additional window to reflect processes, arguments 
and parameters of the launcher
* Zlib support: supporting compression/decompression now to access 
airport/navigation data files etc.
* New GUI design

We still need more contributors and everyone here is invited to 
contribute to this small project. Yes, it is fun !

We also need people to help to improve user and developer documentation.

Thanks & Cheers, Yves
