I might be willing to see what I can do. I've been on a extracting things from other things kick lately, like pulling midi files out of proprietary archive files. How much harder can this be? If they're not too big/too many files, sent them my way, I'll take a shot in my spare time. JD Curtis

This really doesn't seem like such a difficult subject to me. If one were to use a crude approximation of a flat plane drawn out to intersect the ray from the eye to the sun, it would work, but... If you want to be really clever, use a spherical or spheroidal approximation to determine where

Stupid idea: Has anyone thought to make a simple FDM for ground vechicles? I admit it might get boring quickly, but in a multiplay situation, it might be intresting to allow someone to simply watch takeoffs from the ground, with a mobile camera. It's half-assed, and since I can barely get FG

Ok, I'm having a bit of trouble getting the release version of flightgear to compile under cygwin. I'm hardly an expert at getting major projects to compile, so I'm not quite sure what the problem even is. I've pasted the error at the bottom, so if anyone has any thoughts on it, maybe you can

I know this is slightly off topic, but what is the possibility of having a one aircraft, one file type configuration. The idea is basically to put all of the requisite files for a particular aircraft into some kind of archive file, such as a tarball, and then drop the archives into one

Make sure the mirror really isn't a parabolic one. 40 mirrors are pretty big to be anywhere near perfectly spherical. Also, the reflected image will form on your retina, so where you put your eye has plenty of importance. Also, the optics of your eye might have an effect :) *grins* What a
