[Flightgear-devel] Flightgear on TheOpenCD
Hello, My name is Henrik Nilsen Omma, and I am a participant in a new Open Source Project called TheOpenCD. Our aim is to create a simple to use CD distribution of Open Source software for Windows that will act as a showcase, and in that way spread the OSS message. We released our first edition in December, and we are now aiminng for a much expanded and improved version in March. We are careful to select only the best quality OSS, so that we can really impress user. As a result our CD will only include around 30 applications (whereas GNUwinII has over 100), and only 3-4 games. Flightgear has impressed us, with it's size, complexity and graphics. However there are a few minor issues which currently doesn't match our profile. 1. When starting the game there are lots of debugg messages, can these be removed? 2. The game and locations are installed in separate packages. This should be combined in a single and smooth install/uninstall along with as much ducumentation as possible. Can we do a collaboration on this? #1 is something we would need help with, while #2 can be done by someone in our team using InnoSetup. The first CD is already in wide circulation, but we expect much more from the second one, as it will be more mature, and we will push it harder.

However there are a few minor issues which currently doesn't match our profile. There was a review in a local magazine this week, and immidiately draw attention. I think it is a good innitiative! 1.

This patch will already remove a lot of the startup messages: http://www.a1.nl/~ehofman/fgfs/download/SimGear_remove_cout-20030217.diff David, can you apply it to SimGear?
