I hope I did not sure if I forgot to send it. In case of doubt: Yes, the booth was confirmed. Does any of the non-German crowd plan to serve as booth staff or attend LinuxTag as a visitor ?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear on LinuxTag;
Hi Detlef, I would like to do some scenery work, but as I don't live in Wiesbaden I might do some generic models of rhine bridges or Highways. Also I like to put some AI ships on the rhine. Finally, what do you think about a Ju-52 in a Linux Tag livery? I know there is some scenery object development for the "Rhein-Main" Area on the german flightgear forum at http://www.flight-gear.de. How are things going with the scenery? Did you already modelled some of those bridges? I am populating the city center with roughly modelled buildings, using aerial pictures as reference, trying to get something similar to reality. It's a pity there's no automated process, but with enough time I will get something acceptable in the next few days. You can look at some screenshots of the undergoing work in flight-gear.de forum (section Allgemeine Diskussionen), maybe we can start putting things together and see how they look.

Now several things come into my mind that would help us to make our presence on the show a success and that we probably won't find the time to do everything ourselves. So here's my "feature request" - others might follow :-) The LinuxTag-show will take place at the Rhein-Main-Hallen in Wiesbaden http://www.linuxtag.org/2006/en/home/aktuelles.html http://www.rhein-main-hallen.de/ Martin, I've added a very short entry in our events section on the FG web site. Feel free to expand on that a little bit if you like and send me the results. Or if you are happy with the current text we can just leave it alone. There's another request: Is anybody on this list who has experience in createin live-CD's like Knoppix ? It would be nice to have a FlightGear live-CD to give away - or at least to have a CD image on out FTP mirrors that we can point at. Next one: I know how it feels to fly a real aircraft but I've never used a yoke or pedals with FlightGear. Sometimes I've use other people's equipment with M$FS but I wasn't satisfied. The pedals I found there had a spring that centers the pedal position much too hard - but in a real aircraft (Cessna, Piper) you don't need strong initial forces to move the pedals out of the center position. Now: Does anyone have a recommendation for pedals and a yoke that he knows resemble the controls of a real aircraft ? I don't know of anything inexpensive except for the CH products yoke and pedals. I can say that it's possible to get the correct feel of the pedals and yoke (within FAA Level 3 FTD standards) using only springs. It's just a matter of adjusting the spring tension until you get within tolerence. http://www.atcflightsim makes some hardware with a really nice feel especially for light single engine planes, but I imagine the cost is a little out of the range of an typical individual since they sell whole simulator systems, not just pieces. PFC also makes more realistic hardware, but as far as I know there is no FG interface. At one time (several years ago) I offered to build one for them, but they didn't care to talk to me and weren't interested in FG. Now I've lost personal interest in supporting PFC hardware, but it's fine if someone else wants to build the interface. And the last one for today: Is anyobody on this list whom we didn't already contact, who would like to support us in running the booth and who at least is able to speak som German words ? The more people we have at the booth the easier the 'job' will get. Let me just say that hanging out in a booth is a *lot* of fun.
