Am I right in thinking that thermals are broken in the latest FG release? I can't seem to find any lift over the tower as promised and seem to remember this being mentioned on one of the lists.
I've been getting withdrawal symptoms since my demo license for "Silent Wings" expired - it's really very good, and available on Linux, too. Unfortunately it is neither free nor open source and both, particularly the former is an issue for me - I just don't have �50 to spend on that sort of triviality! I also don't use any closed-source software other than the Nvidia drivers, and don't particularly want to go back down that path. Getting back to FlightGear (which is also a fantastic achievement), are the thermals fixed in the CVS version? Are any of the FG developers particularly interested in gliding; i.e. are we likely to see more features to facilitate that soon? I would dearly like to assist, but my coding skills leave much to be desired - testing is more my thing! I imagine that more accurate modelling of things like thermals/clouds and "ridge lift" are very low priority in FG and possibly not worth the detrimental effect on performance for the majority of users?
