With regard to the speed of loading models from Nasal into the scenery I
was writing about a while ago, I have made some discovery yesterday.
I was testing a setup in 2.0.0 with some heavy numerics running on the
second CPU, and this pushed the behaviour of the framerate into the
behaviour I was

I have reservations about this. It could easily backfire on you personally

I think the same could be achieved
Confrontation? Don't be silly! This guy is a businessman, a shrewd capitalist

Relicensing seems to be a good idea if the present license (or it's

I think the latter statement is
FPS is a nuisance, indeed, but boycotting The FlightGear Project just
as a means to hurt FPS doesn't buy us anything, I'd say. If we really
aim at doing anything wrt. FPS, then we'd probably better care about

Just to re-iterate - the best defence is a good offence. Stop worrying about
FPS, and make FG
better (by contributing), or promoting it better. It's essentially a
marketing scam, not a competing

selling FG. He does the same with a lot of other GPLed software.
Again, Google shows many similar sites - all with the same contact

I think having the wiki as default page for the project makes a lot of
sense, there is way more information on the Wiki at this point, and it's
