Hi All, I'm going through the GUI to update the Manual with the correct menu items for the upcoming release. I noticed the MP Settings dialog which I'm sure has been there for ages without me seeing it. Should this now be documented as the standard way to enable MP, abs should there be a

I've just committed to origin/next a better fix for the LoD range that adjusts based on the view distance, and also attempts to account for the possible size of the cloud itself. Thanks - working fine here! Does this contain the impostor functionality already or not? Cheers, * Thorsten

Hello, * dc-3: Very nice cockpit work - the manual needs an update though, starting the engine seems to require at least one more step than advertized (the selection of a fuel tank). Even then for some reason I got only the left engine on - repeating symmetrically what I did never started the

Hello, I updated my FGdata today, and wow- the Citation X has improved! Especially the Primus Display are great- the NAV map was a long missing feature! I also could see that the Autopilot has been improved and works now like it should: a real FLC-Mode! But I have problems with the locking on
