I didn't lose interest in fg -- I only lost interest in developing for FlightGear after the project "leader" let one developer push the project in a very bad direction, and for the wrong reasons, too. (Paraphrased: "He spent a lot of time for this, so I don't want to reject it.") This has spoiled an essential part of FlightGear's foundation. Such bad engineering puts me off. There were far better solutions for the alleged problem, but cluelessness and ego stood in the way. It wasn't a "freedom clash", other than one developer having been given the freedom to destroy ... m. :-P PS: I put "leader" in quotes because for me as an Army officer, a leader is someone who *leads*. "Leadership by not leading" (and being proud of it) isn't a leadership style in my book. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
