Ehh maybe not. These are just packages built from my own branch, and really need to be merged to trunk first before releasing them under the foxtrotgps banner.
Besides, the package is crippled in that the OSD is disabled, and that now libgps is a requirement, which makes it probably a less than smooth experience because AFAIK it is incompatible with fso-gpsd. I have renamed the packages to reflect they're not an official release.. grtz, Sander On Thursday 27 May 2010 14:12:00 Risto H.
