Once upon a time, you were sitting and writing: For those of you who may not have heard, the Space Shuttle Columbia appears to have broken up on entry as it passed south of Dallas while at a speed of mach 10+. Sad day for all of us. From the Israeli POV, it is especially sad, as the first

[Flightgear-devel] Logging

I've made a minor change to logging -- all logs and log entries now require an explicit 'enabled' property, set to a boolean true value, or else they will be skipped. I made this change to support the new logging dialog (under State/Logging) that I've just checked in -- you can now log properties
