I absolutely agree with Vivian. The users should know about planes that need much resources (CPU, RAM, VRAM). This value should not influence the total score. Maybe using the total score is not a good idea at all, because some users prefer the "eye candy" and don't worry about frame rate too much,

Hi Curt May I ask you to update your flightgear.org pages just a bit? Will not take more than 10 minutes! No graphical changes, no code changes, just update text ;-) I ask you for updating text sections like "source code" or "cvs resource". Sorry for that, but your february-2010-pages looks li

Thanks everyone for the responses. So far the Anders' suggestion of using screen.nas seems to have the most promise. Torsten: I have another project I want to use the fgpanel system for, but with this project we are trying to keep the logistics of starting things up as simple as possible, also I'
