If you want me to, I can have a look whether there is a Harrier for

permission).
Plenty of planes to last quite some time (no Spitfire yet for

Hello, I'm still experiencing a bug that already lasts for quite some
weeks. I run 'fgfs' with '--start-date-lat=2002:04:11:11:11:11' which
gives me daylight whereever I intend to take off. After crashing the

Hi James,
I know Darrel Wassiler (who's probably lurking here somewhere) has
already done similar work, but for my own amusement, I've been working
on getting SimGear and FlightGear compiled as a framework (in the case
of SimGear) and a bundle (in the case of FlightGear). This translates

No, if the HUD is added to a 3d cockpit of the F-16 this is the behavior

I believe that Durk Talsma may have been the one who set up these

or are supposed to work.
