[Flightgear-devel] Proposed new set of splash screens

I've created a new set of splash screens based on the images Durk created about two weeks ago. Does anyone have any objections to committing them or does anybody have other possible splash screens to choose from? http://home.telfort.nl/sp004798/emh/Splash1.png

[Flightgear-devel] Negative-drag-bug in 20 aircraft models

2010-02-19 Thread Andreas-Z
Hi everyone! I think I found a little bug in a couple of JSBSim-aircraft: The property /fdm/jsbsim/aero/coefficient/CDde  (Drag_due_to_Elevator_Deflection) takes negative values when the elevator moves up, so the elevator face is accelerating the plane. The wrong code is found in the model.xml

Hi Erik, I think the proposed splash screens are excellent except for http://home.telfort.nl/sp004798/emh/Splash3.png 2 things just don't seem right: 1. The rain/snow, which we FG users know is brilliant, might give the impression of a poor quality picture. 2. Because of the angle the pic

I recently discovered that it is possible to fly the C172p (and presumably lots of other aircraft) using --fdm=ufo. This has the potential to be very useful, for instance if you want to pose the aircraft for pictures, and for navaid flight check missions. This really ought to be documented.

I am willing to defer to the general consensus, but for me Free Flight Simulator doesn't quite have the all the right nuances. I still kind of like natural flying or flying naturally or flying a la natural. :-) For anyone considering resolution, remember that these are drawn as opengl textures
