The people doing the changes do their best to make it work. But if there is something failing on some other platform/configuration/... feedback is needed. Thanks Mathias ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mathias I did, but I am afraid that your reply did not address my question. When I did get it working, every time that there was a change requiring a new set of project files, Cmake got very confused and came up with new sets of problems. Each time that I deleted the cache (to start afresh when cmake gave up), cmake wanted loads of info, most of which it should have known as my flightgear folder layout is the standard one. Boringly, I had to re-enter the location of every simgear library, as well as openal and zlib which already existed in the 3rd party structure. A few more hiccups, which I can no longer remember, VS produced an executable However this would not run and usually involved using the depends tool to work out why FG had been made with the wrong set of libraries. The final straw came with the incorporation of HLA, which I never sorted out. VC100 is to be avoided like the plague. It even seems to have problems linking with libraries produced with different versions of VC100.
