Re: [Flightgear-devel] PATCH: Remove unused libraries from linker

2006-12-17 Thread Olaf Flebbe
Hi, The following patch removes unnecessary dependencies - probably MSVC folks would like to incorporate similar changes into their project files. The MSVC8 project files have a totally differenty library structure. The MSVC 6 project files bundled with FlightGear do not work at all. Olaf

[Flightgear-devel] OSG fps

2006-11-25 Thread Olaf Flebbe
Hi, now FlightGear OSG is running almost at the same speed (sometimes faster) than plib for me. FreeGlut was the culprit. Switching the the good old glut gives another 10% FPS boost. And it fixes a bug: For me the c172p with freeglut is accellerating itself at the runway without using the
