That should be irrelevant, as long as the FDMs and 3D models use the
same origin.
All the best,

Cool. Uh, how? :)

How hard would it be to have a property that toggles hotspot visibility? It'd
be nice to be able to turn it on and have yellow rectangles show up on the
hotspots...or something like that. Thinking about making hotspots to control
some of the 3D instrumentation.
Best,

Try this:
fgfs --aircraft=c172p-3d
Don't change the view direction or FOV. Click on the ident switch or
the hi/low/off knob on the ADF and watch what happens.

Are you sure? I tho
Lovely stuff. For those who were wondering why it seems intermittently
broken, what seems to be happening is the 2D panel hotspots are always
active as well, and they pick up the mouse clicks as well (or instead,
if the 2D hotspot area overlaps a 3D hotspot area). So there are two

A while ago,we had a hard-coded balloon model. I don't think it works
any more, but now that we have wind and weather, it would be nice to

What source code generator is being used/recommened
for Flight Gear ? I currently use CPP2Doc for my own
code but Flight Gear seems to use another one, which
one ?
If possible if URL :)

Cool, someone's playing with the 747. This model hasn't had a lot of
tweaking yet beyond the engine thrust bugs that Jim Wilson dealt with
a few months back.

Has anyone tried offsetting the lights in the direction of the viewer?

Hello Richard,
Sorry for the long delay, but I've been bussy creating new runway
textures, and that took more time than I had hoped.
I had the good fortune to be given a flight in a hot air balloon for Christmas last year.
I finally got around to arranging the flight last month (The outbreak
