 Great, now I feel recruited by the US military ...

Well, not exactly!  Keep in mind that the same code is available to everyone
else including the North Koreans,  provided of course they are allowed to
keep their power plant running long enough to make an internet connection.

Keep in mind the ways that OSS, at least potentially, operates as a social
equalizer.  That counts for individuals, businesses, and governments.

Best,

Jim

Yes, I know. Actually I con't care about this too much (it _was_ meant 
to be a joke), so if someone want's to use FlightGear to driver their 
toilet flusher, go ahead!

Honestly, I hesitated before I sent this out, but in the end, I just
couldn't stop myself.

I always liked flightgear because it combined my two favorite
activities ... computers and aviation ... now the thought of combining
this with a 3rd favorite activity ... this could be just the answer to
finding more time to work on FlightGear.  I do my best thinking under
pressure???  Ok that's enough, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry ... I
should have just left it at Hm.

That won't necessarily always be true. Now that we have an 
F-16 (etc.) that can carry them, and it sort-of works (I 
still haven't tried it - I haven't had time to fly 
anything for a while!) I can test the multi-vehicle 
capability of JSBSim better. It's not complete and still 
in-work. I think my wife is planning on taking the kids to 
the grandparents for a couple of weeks in the near future. 
I ought to be able to finish some remodeling AND do some 
programming stuff in that period. :-)
