I stumbled some time ago about a review of FGFS. As this time about 50% of all aircraft downloadble was by Mr. Baranger. The reviewer indeed managed to test only the aircraft by Mr. Baranger, and the review result wasn't very good...(unfortunately I don't find it anymore between the many FlightPro...xxx o Google.) I agree that OpenSource allows to add unfinished aircraft and that it can be a Plus for OpenSource. But that doesn't mean that you automatically have to do this! It can be also a Minus as it seems for me as our system has been abused here, and yes, the fact that all aircraft are downloadable without any sign of their state may FGFS let look bad! But I haven't heard yet, that the Download page will show the rating! Is there something coming now with FGFS 2.6.0?? But exactly this was one reason when I started the discussion about Aircraft status in the forum. > *shrugs* I would assume that the average user is capable of some rational > thought.

We are cross-platform, and as there are many people out there using Mac or Windows, they aren't in OpenSource as you or others here are. As a new user of FGFS, heard how realistic FGFS is and how better than MSFS, I would feel cheated if I see a very nice aircraft exterior on the Thumbnail, but when I use the aircraft I don't see any instruments, and the flight behavior being completely unrealistic. >> It will be good if FlightGear community take conscious of this ! > Do you honestly believe that you're the only one who has realized that > there's unfinished work in the repository? I mean, seriously? Seems to be a language barrier here- he doesn't meant to take conscious of unfinished work, but the effect of currently about 200 (!) unfinished and mostly unusuable aircraft. We can't say that we are realistic but providing more than 60% of unrealistic/unusable aircraft. And again: and of those aircraft about 5-10 are suffering from serious licence issues! > Please, seriously change your perspective in this discussion.

And please, please, read this here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28840950 The fact that we have now 3 different threads about the same topics: DC3, licence violation and cooperation in an OpenSource project, makes it difficult to see where the real problems are. Or better described by David: "It's fabulous how one could make a mess, in an almost untracable way if you don't follow the mess in live time. It's easy to mix up conversations in different posts to cross the comments to make the story in your favour and make it non understandable by creating "holes" into the discussions for those who didn't followed. A good example is this thread on the devlist which is finally split into different posts! There's one that is seriously skilled and have nice techniques! I take note of them." still in work: http://www.hoerbird.net/galerie.html But already done: http://www.hoerbird.net/reisen.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
