Hi Andy,
Because the platform available to me to run FGFS won't touch 099 (and I
suspectit will have similiar problems with 0910) I am currently focussing on
the FGFSDB. I would love to be proficient enough with a 3D modelling tool to
be able to contribute models without causing a great deal of frustration to
myself and disappointment to viewers. I will apply more effort to this when
I have my new platform.... and now to your question... FAT32/NTFS ....
because I won't be able to afford a XP license initially and I want to hit
the ground running (so won't be trying *nix initially) I will be loading my
current 98SE license. To get the best possible File System performance out
of it I'll be going for a Seagate 10,000rpm HDD as the primary "C" drive and
a partitioned 7200rpm WD drive as the Program and Data drives. I want to be
able to have enough RAM so I can disable the windows "swap" file (>2G
DDR400) This will reduce the dependance on disk access time for memory
paging performance. Arguably, I should be using the fastest disk for loading
scenery etc., this maybe true and testing will prove if my initial
configuration is the most beneficial for FGFS... this new platform will be
90% dedicated to FGFS & tools.
I am currently using Georg's FGTools to place objects and while it can take
days or weeks to get lat/long/asl information on some NZ landmarks ( BCL TV
transmitter masts, Airways Corp Radar domes, RNZ antennae masts) it only
takes minutes to place similar models from Jon's FGFSDB into the scenery
once this information is obtained. I would love to be able to model Te Papa,
the Beehive etc ...maybe when I win Lotto... :->
That's my return ramble.... Maybe we should form a Kiwi FG users lists like
the Germans (and perhaps others) have for local topics :-> We might be
struggling to get half a dozen subscribers :->
Cheers mate

Hi Dene,
sorry for the late reply.....have been messing around trying to get some
aircraft working only find I need teh new version......which I will
download very soon!!!!
The developers are fantastic and my hat is off them for what they have
given us, and continue to give us. Big round of applause from me!!!!
My system is about to be reformatted as it is "running like a dog." It will
be done this Saturday so will reinstall everything (I have to physical hard
drives, 1 with the OS and the other with everything else!!), so it will run
much nicer and faster than before....question though, would making the
drive NTFS make that much difference than Fat32? I know about the faster
file sharing and access but apart from that any real signifcance??
I have also been thinking really hard about building scenery objects for
our home based (I live in Christchurch, NZCH for the others on this
list....), airports, as there are no Terminals in the scnenry downloads I
have....a very nice Airport runway with taxiways but no real airport.
Wigram is also alittle sparse. I have been following with much interest the
scenery thread, started by you I think(?), and am still very clouded about
the whole XML thing (I still struggle with plain old HTML!!!!), but will do
more research and see what I can get.
Sorry for the ramble, must dash and do some house work (making beds
etc...), before the missus gets back :)
Slainte,
Andy Gorman
Hi Andrew,
I have also noticed this, that the user list is rather devoid of any
details of the up-coming release. I am also subscribed to the devel list
on a read-only basis as I am only running 098a because of hardware
limitations and am able to follow what may/may not be included in the
09.10 release.
BUT, i can see the point in keeping some of the details of ythe new
release on the developers list as they might not be progressed enough to
make it to the new release.
One point I would make though, from the posts on the devel lists...those
that can are doing their utmost to ensure that as much as can be provided
in a stable release is being provided.
Mean while my endeavours are to obtain a platform that will accomodate the
...hmmm not eye candy...hmmmm suppose you'd call it reality candy that
they're proposing.....
As I have said before, the productivity and vision of the devel
contributors is truely amazing...
I hope I've whetted your appetiete...
Cheers
