Great work so far! 

But won't the german police change their color to blue in the near future?

Fortunately, my uncle isn't Billy. I don't know if you got aware of what his 
childs inhert, some millions. Sounds much, but in contrust to what Bill names

Hmm, especially the fees. :) - But there is a easy solution for that: I go to 
my homebank, create a new account and all of you requesting the power cart 
simply pay some dollars on my account! Would be a great implementation, 
huh? ;)

You are using Fedora Core. Did you tried using the rpms befor baking your own 
openAL?

openAL is just a library as the libc. The only purpose it has, is including 
openAL into other Application to have sound. The app "openal-configure" you 
mentioned, is for autotools/autoconf. You, as a person, do not need them at 
all, to run anything having openAL support enabled.

Correct, you need a file called ".openalrc" in your /home/stephan. It needs to 
have a dot in the beginning.

What about writing down here the content you have in your .openalrc?

I assume your configuration will look like this:

(define devices '(native alsa sdl esd arts null))

If you look some lines down in README.sound, you'll see how to use ALSA.
Better you first try a 2.0 sound config:

(define devices '(alsa))
(define speaker-num 2)
(define alsa-out-device "hw:0,0")

I doubt that you have to fix something regarding the source of openal. :)

Better you simply do it. Do you compile FGFS at your own? Does the configure 
command complain about a missing alut-lib?

Hi Georg,

FG instead of MSFS has a central SceneryDB. This DB is not extandable yet with 
user modifications to the srtm stuff. But - I suppose so - FG is intended to 
have just one big-central DB for the terrain. So, there shouldn't be any 
problems according to you worries.

Hi Martin,

I don't believe that this is a problem at all. We can mask a aircraft as AI so 
that a human controller knows, he has to command the aircraft only "by text".  
Where "by text" means the command window - For lazy controllers this windows 
also creates readable text messages when the command is for a human pilot and 
sends this over network/whatever...

Um.. stop. I just see that openal has the ability to open vorbis. 
But there is no promise of support for vorbis.

You are right, Ogg/Vorbis is really a great compressed audio format. All my 
new songs I compress in vorbis now; just an information apart. ;)

Well.. If you say, you need vorbis support in fgfs, you have 2 possibilities:
link them dynamicly at runtime or take the whole source and implement it into 
fgfs. 

The second solution would ensure that every user can use the FI and 
additionally everybody can use ogg/vorbis then.

But this approach introduces the problem of keeping the ogg/vorbis libs 
up2date. I guess  there is no need, because FGFS has no concept regarding 
security, so you don't have to care about latest security holes. But I 
believe the devs aren't amused about that idea to implement yet another codec 
fully into fgfs.

Therefor I would like to throw the idea into the room to replace all the *.wav 
files with ogg/vorbis ones and make ogg/vorbis the default audioformat 
internal of FGFS.

What is exactly the system? Is it a stone-old linux distribution or so? But 
even if it's the case, I can't imagine to not be able to set up a 
mysql-server.

If you care about your server-perfomince: those few queries will not tease 
your server too much. 

But it would be great to have such a database and acutally also the object db 
(but that's another story) on one site. - Users doesn't have to crawl on 
hundreds of sites to find some nice aircrafts but looking on fg-site and get 
happy. Additionally, you don't have to keep track of the latest version of 
one aircraft, the author himself can update his aircraft on his own.

Both do not express the propery function they have. From a dialog-function I 
expect to get a dialog and from a popup-function something that pop ups. ;) - 
silly.. but true. :)

displayMessage() would be rather ok.
