This was way too long in coming, but I have done a few service updates. 1. The master ftp.*gear.org server was having stability problems for some time now and would crash every couple days. I never got to the bottom of the problem ... I fully replaced the motherboard, cpu, and memory at one point

[Flightgear-devel] improving VOR indication (patch for navradio.cxx/hxx)
