[Flightgear-devel] MD-11 Good News

2004-05-10 Thread Innis Cunningham
Well Ampere the good news is that FG is quite happy to animate using the 3DS file. I just did a quick check using the elevator code out of the 737 and what was animated moved just the pivot point was all wrong but the surfaces moved ok.So what you need to do is work out the pivot system in 3DS and

With that, I can last the 5:30hr journey by train from London to Edinburgh. (Word processing only. If you want to run FGFS, or compile it, then you are looki

Intel has _just_ realased the Dothan series of mobile processers, so Intel's Centrino technology is great for battery life. They have processers as low as 1 GHz using like only 1.1 voltsĀ I believe, keeping it alive for much longer. And as long as he has a nice videocard (aka Nvidia or ATi 128 mb c
