Jon,
Many thanks,

But 404: Page Not Found

probably due the recent  reorganisation of their huge database, anyhow these 
documents should exist

I will look for it.

I new the photo gallery link which is great

 those who knows my URL http://perso.orange.fr/GRTux/
have noticed a lot of model, which are not longer available.
I made these Aircraft some years ago , they where flying with FG 0.9.8.
They were built mainly to answer some friends request.

I am going to make these aircraft to be GPL, and FG 0.9.11 and FG OSG cvs 
flyable.

They will be delivered i hpe during the next  4 months.

The first one ,  is the BlackBird SR-71 available here

Hi Gerard,

the SR-71 model looks as though it has some nice detail in it but I can't see 
it clearly in the screen shots.  I'd suggest adding some 'shininess' to the 
material (that's what AC3D calls that particular material parameter although 
to my mind it is more of a specular high-light quality).

Also, did you know that the SR-71, despite it's 'Blackbird' moniker is 
actually a very dark grey-blue in colour?

It's tricky doing 'black' 3d computer stuff because nothing is actually 100% 
black in real life but in a computer simulation, if you use 0 0 0 rgb black 
you'll get 0 0 0 rgb black and the result will be a silhouette.

Hello Lee,

I fully agree with you, because the texture is black the AC is black, i have a 
lot of work to do, mainly some new textures (that one is 3 years old).
In addition to:
 the main updates will be the addition AAR probe, the engine statoreactor 
effect, and the chute.
 and certainly to continue on with the instruments.

That's a very well done model. Not that this would surprise me,
you've always been one of the most talented modelers. (Which is
one of the reasons why I was unhappy about past events. But
those are no longer relevant.)

Here's a problem though: this page says Under no circumstances
may these files be sold or uploaded to a payware site. Of course,
for us only the license counts. Your statement for the (very nice)
Noratlas said We agree to release this aircraft, Noratlas Nord-2502
and family serie 2501, 2504 (was a french air navy aircraft), 2508,
under the GPL for inclusion into the FlightGear CVS base package
- with all the pros and cons that might result from this.

So, was this statement only for the Noratlas, or all contributions
by you that you offer under the GPL? But what's with the under
no circumstances thing from your homepage then? You know that the
GPL explicitly allows selling this stuff? It's, of course, allowed
under the GPL to upload it to payware sites, too, as long as they
respect the GPL.

 I don't understand YOUR problem.

OK, let me explain: This license restriction in big red letters on
your page with GPL-licensed aircraft makes very obvious that your
interpretation of the GPL doesn't exactly match the FSF's (Free
Software Foundation's) interpretation of it. For us and everyone
else the latter is binding. And you and the other FlightGear
developers should be aware of that, so that we all don't run into
surprises later. (You know what I mean.) And it's not really a
problem for me personally.

Certainly - wherever an instrument is unique to a single aircraft, then
it should be handled as such. On the other hand, references to other
aircraft clearly show that the instrument is not _that_ unique  :-)

My proposal does not target only at the Blackbird, instead there are
numerous places where aircraft designers link to other aircraft while
creating a 'generic' instrument would make much more sense. Last but
not least this would make it easier to resolve conflicts when people
download a single aircraft that is not part of the base package
distribution.

Martin.

Well, Gerard has been posting the single link to the Blackbird on this

After being a bit pedantic on this topic earlier this month I'm
convinced we managed to resolve the given issue,

I can fly with full throttle and slowly climb - but if I knock back throttle 
I seem to loose everything, and the aircraft just slows down and gently drops

  flyable.
 
  They will be delivered i hpe during the next  4 months.
 
  The first one ,  is the BlackBird SR-71 available here
 
  http://perso.orange.fr/GRTux/SR71-BlackBird.tar.gz

 Using OSG cvs version, updated yesterday.

 I got from CVS - great model, but I seem to have an issue.  After taking
 off, I can fly with full throttle and slowly climb - but if I knock back
 throttle I seem to loose everything, and the aircraft just slows down and
 gently drops to earth in the horizontal postion (i.e. it doesn't crash,
 just floats down like a feather).

 I see this in the console:

Nick,

Yes i noticed that problem, with that FDM  the power after take off (i tested 
it on a low altitude KSFO) at 2 deg pitch must not be less than 80% of rpm 
and must be less than  300 kts.

Only full throttle and from 15 to 20 deg pitch gives the right power to get 
altitude, 1 ft and more.

I don't mean that is right, i only mean we have a lot of work to do before to 
get the right FDM.

Thanks for your feed back.

Okay, now someone needs to refuel behind it. I understand the tanker is
firewalled, and the SR-71 is on the verge of stalling.

Bill,
Yes, you just put the finger where the pain is the most important
