Hi Pigeon, the idea to have a FG-live-CD was great but how you did it is even greater, my compliments! :-)) I tested it with AMD64 3700, 1 GB RAM, NVidia 6600GT 256 MB and made 3 long testflights (B1900, C172). This is what I found (beside all those positive aspects which I can't mention he

Hi, I've just committed a new facility for FG to cvs - Air-to Air TACAN. Commonly fitted in tankers, you can use it by adding true refueling_demo_1 in your preferences.xml file. You will also need to download the KC135 from David Culp's hangar: http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/hanga
