Hi Dave,
thank you for this very nice aircraft.
Did a long flight. Now I can tell I like it very much
1. it is "a no-brainer". Right for me :-)
2. it is one of the "prototypes" of a jet aircraft I remember I had as a little plastic toy when I was young (the other was a Sabre like aircraft). 3. the instrument lightning - new feature? I did not see this "step for step" increasing lightning until now in a FG aircraft. Nice! 4. the help. Gives me at least 2 numbers. Would be nice to have also some other as a like to fly different a/c and I have a bad memory. So with the help I can check the numbers before take-off and landing (Ok, FG does not complain if I take the gear out at 300 knts and set flaps at high speeds. But it is not the way I want to treat the a/c)
5. Nice outside and inside 3d
Regards
Georg EDDW

I've just completed a Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star. I'd like someone to please download it and take it up for a spin before I submit it to the hangar.

The exterior model was originally done by Massimo Taccoli, who has done several very nice models for MSFS, and has given me permission to convert it for use in FlightGear and release the resulting model under GPL. The FDM is JSBSim, based on Aero-Matic output with a couple tweaks. It runs here in CVS FlightGear, and should run in 0.9.8 and later?

It's a no-brainer to fly. Engine is running at startup, and flaps are set at half (takeoff position). Check out the gunsight (you have to turn it on by clicking on the on/off switch). It has auto-depression for g-load.

Thanks,

Dave
