2010-10-10 Thread Gijs de Rooy

Gijs, This sounds like a worthwhile proposal. Why not set up the wiki page etc. so that we can compare and come up with an informed decision, rather than some pre-formed opinions. (4 FG Developers - 5 opinions. One will change their mind :-)) Vivian -Original Message- From:

[Flightgear-devel] Automatic runway selection broken by weather interpolation

2010-10-10 Thread Stuart Buchanan
