The bo105 has no "carrier" support and doesn't animate the "gear compression", but it still gains a lot through the ground awareness. Helicopters are much more often landed in the landscape, where no flat and hozizontal concrete area is available. Before the changes, the bo always ended up leveled, no matter how steep the slope was. Now one has to be more careful. Only the shadow is cheesy ... it remains horizontal. Another great gain is that aircraft do now decelerate when they are taxiing uphill, and accelerateg downhill. Would be nice if JSBSim supported that, too. ;-) m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
