I like this idea, as it is a more generic approach and could work for steeper shorelines (like those around KSFO). Smaller layers could then be used to simulate the effects of waves as well, and based on the camera's distance to these layers, we could then play the sounds for wave. Water surface should be handled differently than land right from the beginning. Right now, any plane could land on the water as if the water is a giant runway. By having the water as a separated mesh, we could finally simulate the plane-water interaction properly. I feel that this method would move us into the right direction. Ampere that would be a chance for completing my albatros seaplane, imagine flying around those caribbean islands ...

[Flightgear-devel] Beaufighter and Payload
Hello everybody, here is a preview of my Bristol Beaufighter, it features tracers and a releasable torpedo. As the heavy torpedo doesn't improve general flight characteristics, I like to make it selectable via the Fuel and payload dialog, but I don't know how to achieve that. I would be very happy if someone could give me a hint. Greetings Detlef http://www.sol2500.net/flightgear --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!

You are a very busy guy and this new a/c looks very nice and promising. And I love all these nice add-ons (second inside-view, torpedo to release, open something when on the ground ..). May be you have a look at Torsten Dreyer's SenecaII before finishing this model - he made some nice menu entries for some aircraft functions. At least some comfort for the featherbedded Win users like me :-). And may be - this is only a question of personal taste - some more vertices for the torpedo to make it more round in shape? Just an idea. Regards Georg HeliFlyer EDDW --- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk! Fully trained technicians.

Another possibility is that it's a holiday weekend in the U.S., that people are busy, etc. It's often the case that it takes active contributors more than just a couple of days to respond to something. Does anyone see advantages to the current seedwiki site that I'm overlooking? I see no advantages per se to Seedwiki -- I think its editing interface is pretty awful, and my attempts to speak with the people who run it over issues I've found there haven't been very useful.

Giving them a chance to speak their mind might not be a bad idea. It might also be worth getting their input on moving the stuff over.
