Hello, I'd like to bring up again the issue of standalone FlightGear modules (add-ons, plug-ins). You probably hear this question once a while, but I have a new argument. ;-) Although the FlightGear design fairly modular it's provided as a single binary. Everyone who wants to create a new I/O

All valid points but irrelevant for the GPL. It is already possible to connect proprietary software to FlightGear using the generic binary (socket) protocol handler, but that doesn't violate the GPL. Plug-in interfaces tend to do because they are considered 'part of the program' by the GPL.

Hi Oliver Welcome to FG world. I use vstab for lower wing on K5Y1 (Aka Tombo). You can see K5Y1.xml to find what should be done. The latest K5Y1 is available at CVS and: http://macflightgear.sourceforge.net/home/aircraft/k5y1 There're some points you need to know: - dihedral must be clearly
