There are few things more irritating than having the fg screen fade in only to find yourself pitching off the carrier deck or into the nearest windsock! Hmm, rather than force everyone to start with the P-brake engaged, why don't you just set it in your preferences.xml file? This is the sort of thing that really has nothing to to with the aircraft, and everything to do with the procedures that an individual pilot likes to follow. I always find it irritating when an aircraft designer thinks that they know better how I want to operate in my little world than I do. josh ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel Hi, I really did a lot of Harrier flights as I am a vertical flight fan. And so I have to state that AJ is right as you *always* have some horizontal forces when starting FG/Harrier and it is *very* annoying to move off your position if space is somehow limited (ship, special terrain) *although* I am with my fingers on SHIFT/b immediately and fast (I think at least). Ok, I solved this *for me* with starting FG with --prop:controls/gear/brake-parking[0]=1 but this is not a good general solution for other FG users not familiar with the property system. The Harrier in this stage of development is a nice add-on but very difficult and strange to handle due to the actual flightmodel, that is a pity. But it is as difficult to develop like the helicopter flightmodel, I think. The newer versions of the Harrier have an artificial stability system which makes it a lot more easier to fly the aircraft in low speed procedures - may be the force is with us and we'll see something like that in FG some day :-) Regards Georg HeliFlyer EDDW ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Hi Lee, I have some questions regarding the ComperSwift; I would like to use it in the FGLive-KOSH CD being put together by Arnt... i know under GPL I don't have to ask for permission but would like your comment... particularly as I'm missing one important figure - cruise speed :-)... I don't really have time to download/install and get familiar with the aircraft as it will be used in an AI scenario and just need to know the basic flight parameters/performance figures I have the J3, 172P C28-161 as low speed(90knt comfortable)aircraft for the standard NOTAM approaches and there are heaps of 140knt+ aircraft to choose from (AIR New Zealand 737 ;-)...but need 5 low speed civilian aircraft. The Rascal110 also looks a good candidate to fill the fifth spot :...similar figures would be required for that too... if you would prefer to take this off list please feel free to mail be direct..

Well, I'd be careful with such assumptions. You're correct in that FreeBSD-6.0 is not recommended for heavy-load production use (say FTP service with 3k simultaneous connections, I don't know if 'ftp.cdrom.com' still exists). Still you can assume that it eaily handles 1 GByte of RAM and more. My bet is that the port of Inkscape to FreeBSD probably doesn't match the operating system close enough. My experience is that you often have to deal with Linuxisms in OpenSource software which probably show obscure behaviour on Unixes.
