Hi, So, is there any ruling? Who's in charge right now? If there are already instances of the Red Bull logo in the database, why isn't my AH-1 getting committed? Why aren't the other logos getting deleted? I just want to see something done. Somebody just commit the aircraft and get it

*facepalm* Are you telling me that you guys didn't know that Red Bull owns that aircraft? That's the whole reason I made the livery! To accurately recreate the newest addition to the Flying Bulls team, the AH-1! This is the Red Bull aircraft I based my livery off of:

Hi, I hope my comment did not come off as angry or hostile. My only intentions were to issue a firm reminder to Anders that I would rather he contact me first. The AH-1 currently in fgdata is outdated from the one I have in my personal repo. This makes it inconvenient for me to merge

I had started this thread in hopes we would have a democracy type decision, and vote for the aircraft we think would be a best replacement. I rarely fly large jets, and usually fly helicopters, but I do think that the default jumbo jet should either have a few more restrictions so you

I wasn't planning to get into an argument over the 777-200, but yes it does have an unrealistic FDM. See here: http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/891/picture5mj.png Are you telling me this is realistic too? Check Six, Jack

Hi, Perhaps some of you have noticed, that some of the aircraft that come with the standard flightgear package should be changed. A few examples, we could have a more realistic commercial jet than the 777-200(the FDM is terribly unrealistic), we could have a better modeled helicopter

Hi, As many of the textures were originally photos, they were edited in .jpg format and sent to me like that. I made the careless mistake of simply changing the extension from jpg to png. I will convert these the proper way in photoshop, and commit it to the AH-1's repository, which
