I tried adding a value by copying that portion from the 737 xml file, but it does not appear to work. In that the value generated by the spoiler lever is passed from the 747 sim hardware to FG and on to JSBSim, but there is no visible effect on the airspeed. Tried tweaking the coefficient to a higher value, but still nothing. What did I miss?

I have a handle on how to do the XML, I just don't have the expertise to make the actual sound files. The DC3 engine sounds are nice, but they don't quite have that throaty sound that you get from an 18 cyl radial. I found a few recordings, but they are low quality.

[Flightgear-devel] Dashes in filenames
A friend of mine (the best I have) brought this to my attention: The current Windows binary of FlightGear as present in the 0.9.8a download package refuses to load aircraft with a dash in the filename. This _might_ be an issue in general but I don't know if it acually is. It is _definitely_ an issue with the A-10 in the reduced base package of the 0.9.8a installer - as I was able to verify. After renaming the A-10cl-set.xml file to A10cl-set.xml I was able to load the aircraft without any trouble. Which one should be the guideline on how to deal with this issue: Should modelers avoid using dashes in filenames except the one in -set.xml of should the Windws binary get enabled to handle these names ?

I wasn't able to reprocude this effect with the A-10fl neither. Might there be an issue with this single A-10cl-set.xml file in the installer package which got lost (the issue) during renaming ? I'm aware that this souds a bit strange, but I would not tell this story if it actually didn't happen I'll reinstall FlightGear on the PeeCee some day this week to determine if the problem persists, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
