Hi Guys,
Would it be possible to have auto-filtering of the aircraft download
page based on rating for the upcoming release?
I know that Gijs did some work in this area prior to the last release,
and I think it would really help new users in identifying the really
high quality aircraft.

Hi All,
I've just pushed a small commit checking in new versions of the FG
Short Reference, something I should have done with the updated Manual
a while back.
If someone could cherry-pick the commit into the release branch, that
would be great.
The commit is: 68ad1905c83e87171f14d63099dc546fbcfc
Agreed, though I think the GUI is Gijs' work rather than mine.

Hi All,
Thorsten R. and I have been discussing off-list how we can bring the
global and local weather systems closer together. While they have
very different implementations, it should be possible to unify at
least part of the UI and configuration models to provide a more
consistent end-user expe

Hi All,
The official definition of CAVOK (Clear Air, Visibility OK) is a
minimum 10km visibility, no cloud below 5000ft above the aerodrome and
no Cbs.
Our interpretation of this as a METAR code is to set visibility to
12km, and scattered cloud at 5500ft.
While technically correct, it's a bit m

Hi All,
A number of effects files use .dds textures, leading to error messages
on the console.
IIRC in the last release, we suppressed these error messages for the
release, and I think we need
to do something for for 2.8.0 as well.
Of particular concern is terrain-default.eff which uses
Textures

Hi All,
I've just pushed two fixes for possible memory leaks in random
vegetation and buildings.
One was noticed by valgrind, the other is speculative, to make use of
osg::ref_ptrs where
possible.
At the same time, I've changed the random vegetation so that the
normals are bound
