Hi Melchior,
I had tried getting the ufo from cvs last month, had trouble, and didn't have
time to dive in...
From the ufo_20060710.zip dated 2006-Jul-11 25134 bytes:
Using arrow keys gives
Nasal runtime error: non-objects have no members
at /usr/local/FlightGear/data/Aircraft/ufo/ufo.nas,
After some research into this, I understand how my models cannot be GPL due to
Paramount/Viacom rights regarding their copyrighted material.
So I partially take back my wish to replace the ufo. At least the Greys from
the Roswell saucer don't have lawyers. ;)
But my models are still available.

Perhaps the improvements I made, regarding VTOL or vertical hovering, with
bindings to joystick and now keyboard, could be integrated into your ufo?
Would I check out the current cvs to make proposed patches?
It's not really my UFO, although I

Oh no, No cockpit! :)
Just the VTOL or hover capabilities might be useful.

have the shadow shrink as altitude increases.
Err ... but they don't in real life. They just *look* smaller
when they are farther away, just like in FlightGear already.

Hi M,
Well yes, you're right. The outside edge of the shadow should get larger,
albeit fractionally.
But what I was attempting to replicate was the light that refracts around the
object makes the shadow Appear smaller, like you also said.
The alternative I guess, would be to make the
Hi Durk,
Thanks for the technical tip.
I should rename my shadows as Umbra(s) ;D
And probably recalculate the % decrease in width. Sounds like a fun math
problem. :)

In the latest, and hopefully final release of shuttlecraft and runabout, I

To everybody who is interested in ufo alternatives,
the runabout and both shuttles are now out of development, and have undergone
substantial improvements.

Actually creating a cloaking device isn't that difficult,

I'm personally hoping a shuttlecraft will replace the ufo. Light and
maneuverable, excellent for flying close to the ground, up mountain canyons.
But you probably guessed that already. ;)
Perhaps the Klingon Bird of Prey is small enough to fly near the ground.

Oooh... I wonder what sort of methods could pull that off. :)
Wouldn't a Klingon warbird be a nice alternative to the UFO?
I would assume so. :)

Use of Nasal in XML is no different from using it elsewhere.
Here in this case you can't embed any nasal:

Hi,
Geocities has an hourly limit of 4.2Mb for free accounts, so there's not much
I can do short of finding a different site to host on.
I had forgotten about this and did not anticipate the high level of interest.
Because Danube is shorter than runabout? ;)
or because I wouldn't name a c172
I think the models look great!!

Hi,
Problem with orbital flight in FlightGear, is the scenery cache gets bogged
down fast enough as it is.
I believe I saw a comment about that, perhaps in the last month, that the tile
cache doesn't get deleted properly.
Of course, not a problem for normal aircraft, or short flights.
