Well, I cant access to the machine I was workin on right now, so I will be able to tell you on monday what the debugger reports. I am using the FG0.9.10 release version , not a cvs version and also the matching SimGear (v.0.3.10) / base package versions. Olaf: I did use the OpenAL version offered

Hi Thomas, I used cygwin to compile fg-cvs, meanwhile I used MSVC as editor while compiling with cygwin. Then I found Olafs howto on the wiki and compiled with MSVC without deinstalling cygwin. For openal I used the al.zip archive from Olaf (after failing to use the files from the SDK from htt

Hi Thomas, I recommend to use MSVC Express. It is free and Olaf Flebbe has written a excellent howto, linked from the flightgear wikki. He supports osg and the plib-branch and has precompiled libraries to minimize your effort. I have compiled flightgear from the scratch 2 times with cygwin and

I think to answer quickly, the version we distribute in binary form is built with MSVC and you are building with cygwin.  I think it has been reported in the past that cygwin has some serious IO efficiencies due to some sort of thread blocking.  Apparently this isn't a priority for the cygwin team,
