As for the Dragonfly, the performance just seems unreal, thought I've never flown on myself. I think we could replace it with the Dromader, a much higher detail aircraft with a pretty extensively detailed FDM. What part of the FDM do you think is unreal? Having flown the Dragonfly

Should we now track the paternity of every single file and humbly cry for permission from the *main Developer* (with a capital 'D') of the aforementioned file for every single commit ? Or do we want to be pragmatic and accept that once a file is committed under GPL in git, any contributor has

[Flightgear-devel] Nasal-based generic electrical system

A few months ago I created a nasal-based generic electrical system modeled after the built-in Flightgear system. I thought I'd offer it up here for those who might be interested: http://ltts.crlt.indiana.edu/grn/flightgear/electrical_1.html My goal was to achieve something similar to the

You/we already _do_ have soo many duplicated files in the Base Package, it's completely insane (guess, how many implementations of a KX-165 does the Base Package contain !?). Therefore I'd say it's entirely perfect to do an occasional cleanup every now and then. Cheers,     Martin.

(Note: most of this was written before I saw Curt's response.) Heiko, Flightgear has a built-in generic electrical system written in C by Curt I believe. It's generic in that it can be set up using a simple XML file and requires no programming or scripting. All you have to know is how you want
