I agree , there's a lot of duplication ,(in instruments, too) but I think the problem is author's tastes ... I've duplicated textures because I dont care for the look , or style , etc,of existing ones and Im sure that's the same for other contributors. So it might be a problem deciding who's get's

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Proposed new set of splash screens

I strongly agree with this , just keep the generic essentials, instruments, and the aircraft intended to go with the release in the data/Aircraft ... and a separate repository for extras . My 2 cents. Syd As others have mentioned, we really need to move the Aircraft to a new > repository. > Th

[Flightgear-devel] build on Windows; dependencies?

Newbie questions probably, apologies in advance if "RTFM" but I haven't found an answer to these yet. Impressive body of code there in FlightGear/SimGear, I am investigating for use in an internal project. Summary for the impatient: 1) compiling for Windows while needing pthread.h? Avoidab

[Flightgear-devel] Duplicate files in base package

FSlint reports that the base package, or the data directory, contains quite a lot of duplicate files. The file that is wasting the most bytes is glass_shader.png (some instances named glass.png) with 43 974 656 bytes, or around 45MB. This file is duplicated 89 times. The second biggest waster is

[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear audio prerequisites

On the FlightGear source download page we list openal (www.openal.org) as a prerequisite for FlightGear and suggest that developers/users download the latest cvs version rather than any versioned release. ( http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/source.shtml) With the latest audio updates from Erik,

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Proposed new set of splash screens

One of the better ways of handling this kind of thing is to have central "system" directories with users able to put their own data in their home directories. A search path isn't a bad thing, as is the ability to set directories in environment variables. Having only one directory in which to st

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Proposed new set of splash screens

In some things I have to agree to Tim. Multiple hangars aren't bad and just show how our Project grows. And we won't prevent this in future when community is still growing, and I'm sure it will. But there will be some difficulties coming with: > As long as the submitted > material adheres to the

Now, after this funny excursion into the satire department I guess (at least I hope) that those readers who _seriously_ care about licensing and/or ownership concerns are sufficiently sensitized and thus have understood that it's always worth reading the entire, genuine GPL text instead of just bel
