[Flightgear-users] Dated Docs
Hi All Having just downloaded and installed FG on my Mandrake 10.0 box,Big thanks to David Culp,I notice that the getting started file is getting a bit dated for these reasons 1) Zlib and Metakit are still mentioned.I don't know about Zlib but we dont need metakit anymore do we. 2) There is no mention of having to download and install OpenAL. 3) It appears that the base package has been moved to /usr/local/share/flighgear. While I am quite happy to do the corrections I notice that the getting started file is a PDF document and as far as I am aware I dont have a text editor that will handle PDF documents. Also I notice that there is no notes on moving from one version to the next. Now while I realise most people here can do this blind folded standing on there left ear,with then new usres joining all the time maybe there is a need for such instructions.

If you have OpenOffice installed open Writer and and then select File-Print Drop the printer combo box down and select one of the PDF printers, check the print to file option and press the OK button. It will ask you for a filename and then spit out a PDF of your document. :) The CUPS printing daemon and tools also provide a default PDF printer driver which can be shared across a network with SAMBA so you can print PDFs on any PC on a network that know how to use a SMB (Shared Message Block) network printer. i.e. MS, Linux, a lot of commercial Unices, BSD ... There are plenty of other apps that write PDFs though like ps2pdf, Scribus, KWord, latex (with pdftex package). There is no need to fork out $449 to Adobe to get a PDF writer like Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional although I'm sure it's a decent PDF creator. :) One thing to look out for is to try to stick with fonts that are available on all platforms otherwise you have to embed the fonts into the PDF file which bloats it a bit. Now what you don't have is the original source of the getting started guide which means you can either copy the text and images out of it and reformat it in your favourite editor before exporting it again or we can try get hold of the author. If we look in the CVS logs we find that it was created by someone called j4strngs http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/data/Docs/getstart.pdf?cvsroot=FlightGear-0.9 Will Mr j4strngs please stand up! :) Hope that helps a bit.
