[Flightgear-devel] Things to do to improve Flightgear
I believe that flightgear is a great game but in my opinion it is not very user friendly.In order to have more users trying our game and thus provide more feedback we have to make some steps: 1) Update the splash screens. We have the same ugly splash screens for the past 3 years 2) Use a menu to select starting aircraft and airports. We should init the game with very minimum code and then present to the user a nice menu with the logo of FG and two scrollbars, one for the aircrafts and one for the airports. This data could be updated dynamically based on which aircrafts we have in the installation directory 3)Work on the multiplayer part. It would be very fun if two or more players could connect to one of them running the server and fly together. I know there is initiall work on this but i don't thing it is very usable at the moment Thanks _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[Flightgear-devel] Things to do to improve Flightgear
unfortunately i don't know nothing about the FG's interiors, but i have experience in game programming (although in c and not c++). There should be a split up in the code: the initialization part and the scene loading/dynamics init/Ai code etc. After the initial init, we can have the menu and choose aircraft airport and probably ai scenario (we could have them like missions). i don't believe it is _too_ hard to make such a split. It is sadly i don't have any time for now to contibute. For the splash screens we could organise a contest from users (yes, just like gimp and others do) and select the 5-6 top spashes for inclusion. Finally for the multi part i will check the code to see if i can help.This is where all the fun is :P PS: in my first post i forgot to say a big thanks for this great game _ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
[Flightgear-devel] feature request: a menu sustem
HI, thanx for a great game :) I am playing flightgear for the last months and i really enjoy it.But i believe that it lacks something: a menu I would like when flightgear starts to have a menu, to select _graphically_ which airplane and which airport i would like to use, and to set some other options, like a random instrument failure, or a nickname, and then to select play and load the real scenery of the game.I believe this would be a major enhancement to the game and it will attract many new players. Thanx a lot ps: sorry for my english, i am not a native speaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greece http://www.angelfire.com/on3/ironhell3index/HellWorld.html _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
