The February-2004 binaries should work 'mostly' ok with the 0.9.4 base package - I think a February 0.9.3 binary will incorporate the latest AP changes, which will be compatible with the latest 0.9.4 base, so you could just edit the 'version' file in the base package to change it to 0.9.3 to get it to work. I _think_ most of the recent changes to the base package won't cause severe problems with a slightly older binary. Worth a try, perhaps, to get an idea of what FG's like. Watch out to see if I'm corrected though:) LeeE _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users
