Yes, I'll have to make it play nice with the rest of FlightGear at some
point.  There's a way to go just writing the core though - in particular
getting ai aircraft to improve in-air spacing with the user and other ai
aircraft.


BTW. I'll test the code, but probably not until tomorrow.


Thanks!

Just to let you know, I saw nothing odd with that particular piece of 
code, and got it working (at least) three times today. Maybe something 
is fishy with gcc/libstdc etc.?

Hi all,

I'd be very grateful if one or two of you could download and test my latest ATC/AI patches before I commit them, since I'm not entirely convinced I've got all the possible crashes out of them yet.

As regards the crashes, at one point I was getting an inexpicible crash right at startup, which gdb indicated was from sgLoad3dModel called from AIMgr::init.  I can't understand why it would crash there, and it only happened on Linux, and from one CVS tree.  I'd be interested in whether anyone else gets it.
Could this be a DOS line ending issue for the particular aircraft (or 
perhaps and XML formatting problem)?


And finally - some indication of the effect on framerates that folk get on various equipment would be interesting.  There might be some scope for more aggressive LOD on the models I've used (the yellowish dpm cessna and the white pa28-161), the wheel's aren't LODed I don't think for example.
