 No, it's just a matter of stability.  We don't want FlightGear
 releases to have to depend on prerelease CVS versions of plib, so we
 have to wait until the next plib official release.  

Absolutely right, but here we are talking FG cvs with plib cvs (or not as
the case might be)

 By the way, are
 you certain now that the crease patch is in the plib CVS?

No, I'm not. I know Mathias forwarded it, and, as I said, I thought that
Wolfram had uploaded it. I'm using one of our patched versions because plib
cvs doesn't work with Cygwin, or at least didn't when I last looked a week
or so ago (joystick problems). Hence my question. 

 Since the loaders are not an integral part of the plib core, one
 alternative would be to maintain our own AC3D loader in FlightGear,
 based on the plib one.

In effect we are. I use the plib version provided on Martin Spott's site.
Very satisfactory and stable it is too, but of course it has to be
maintained. If plib has a problem with accepting patches, then perhaps this
is the way to go.

Nice to get this one sorted. 

Regards,

Vivian

Right, but if we depend on plib cvs, we could never again make a stable 
release until plib rolls the current cvs version into a stable release 
... that puts us in a bad position.

Curt.

A few of our models do still not work properly with applied crease patch.

  dhc2
  b1900d
  Citation-II

All of them show holes where the instruments should be. I had posted a
working version of the dhc2 but finally gave up fixing that, because this
should be done by the respective author(s?; Sid?). All of these aircrafts
are very well done, btw, and the former two are a joy to fly! (well, I don't
like the b1900d's and the citation's pitch-down behavior, but that's a
different story.  :-)

 Sure. I know how to fix trivial problems like these. I made a link
 instead.
 But this does still not wholly solve the problem, because now we are
 lacking
 a couple of textures that were removed. No problem, as long as the carrier
 is disabled, anyway.
 

Of course you can. I'll check the textures. Disabled - do you mean broken?

Vivian

No, I mean the fact that the nimitz_demo scenario was commented
out in preferences.xml.
