Hi Stuart, On Friday, January 18, 2013 00:04:35 Stuart Buchanan wrote: 1) Are there any significant features/enhancements that have been missed? (Matthias: what HLA enhancements have been made, and can you provide a couple of suitable sentences describing them? I'm happy to wordsmith any text) Well, nothing user visible I think. There is a lot of private code pushed into the repositry, and at some point this tied together will make a lot of sense I think. But up to now just a lot of loose ends. What is there is a sketch of an AI module working on top of hla objects, this sketch also shows how you can roll on ground - at least for solid ground. Also fgviewer gained a lot of unfinished hla code that enables fgviewer to sit on a hla configured view - more or less. At least a python script that I regularily use for development providing this works fine. Together with fgviewer there is also some work done on the scenegraph that is used there. fgviewer is since some time just able to display a whole world paged model that has the stg/btg files in the leafs. With this work there is also some level of detail work done in the leaf nodes that is used by the usual fgfs scene. On my setups here these changes accounted for some performance gains which are also partly visible with fgfs. So not sure if this is worth to be mentioned as there is nothing finally useful for an end user there. Greetings and thanks for collecting this.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] 2.10.0 Changelog - help required
Hi All, I've taken a quick pass through the git logs from the last 6 months and added a selection of new/updated aircraft. I've used a somewhat arbitrary judgement about what to include, and it's likely I've missed some, particularly if there was a major update made in a single commit with an innocuous commit message :). I'd also like to have a set of images/videos illustrating the specific new features where possible. I'm thinking of something different from the screenshot contest that we usually run (Gijs - are you intending to run that again this release?), more of a gallery that goes through the various features with an image illustrating each in turn. So, if anyone has particular images to highlight their favourite new features, please get in touch. -Stuart -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] 2.10.0 Changelog - help required
Hi, I'm thinking of something different from the screenshot contest that we usually run Usually Curt just asks for images and then Durk, I and a few others send in some shots. Last year's screenshot contest was really a special case, to celebrate FlightGear's 15th birthday. I didn't plan to run a contest for this release and as I don't have much time this week, it'd would've been to late to organize something anyway. I think the usual approach of just collecting a few shots highlighting specific new features works well. Do note that we'd like to have all shots in the same aspect ratio, so they can be put together nicely. I don't remember the exact number, but I believe it was something like 3:2. For banners, (forum, facebook, Google+) we also need a few wide images, or images that can be easily cut to a landscape size, without cutting the subject in half.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] 2.10.0 Changelog - help required
Hi Stuart, I'm currently editing the 2.10.0 Change Log, which I expect to use as the basis for the release announcement text. Just wondering, shouldn't we market it as FlightGear 2.10? The changelog is also valid for a bugfix release (2.10.1) and installer fixes (last time we had a 2.8.0.5 for Windows), so the 0 really makes no sense. 2) We normally highlight particularly exciting new and improved aircraft, but I have struggled to keep up with the rapid pace of development. Didn't the A-4 receive some extensive updating lately? :-) Cheers, Gijs -- Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.

Hi all, I'll translate the annoucement in French when finished. The languages were - to my knowledge - not synced for 2.10. This means the startup informations strings + the changes since 2.8 in the menus are not translated. At least not into French.
