Hello,
For the past week I have been working on improved airport taxiway and
grass textures. They've gotten positive feedback on the forums but Gijs
suggested I post about them on the core mailing list for a fair
discussion.
Here are some screenshots of the textures in-sim:
Martin's correct. I made cosmetic changes to the textures themselves,
nothing outside of that like the way the mapping is done.
However, I do agree with John that perhaps some of the runway texturing
needs modifications. I tried to modify the grass and dirt runways to
integrate more seamlessly
Anybody noticed the tiny text at the bottom of the main page? It says

I am not a 777 pilot in real life, but I certainly agree with Jack that
the FDM seems unrealistic to the casual pilot. For instance, fire up
the 772ER and set the fuel tanks and payload weights to full capacity.
Now make sure the flaps are set to 0. Take off, bear the blaring
takeoff config
Another thing I've noticed when flying the 772ER long distances (KIND to
EDDF, about 10-15% fuel consumed) is that fuel consumption seems
abnormally low. I'm far from a YASim expert, but I've heard this may be
due to an overly high lift ratio in the FDM. The 777's is around 193;
perhaps this
It seems more and more that people prefer using the forum instead the
devel-list.
(Certainly not me!)
Forum activity is winding down too- all the informal aircraft/scenery
developers have either left or are inactive.
Now it seems to me it has changed. The list is quiet since a while now; there
are only few announcements for code changes, (in the past we had more, though
the number of changes are still similar), and as I can see more and more
people using the forum for questions about developement and
I'm trying to implement thrust reversal (if possible) for the ATR 72, a
YASim turboprop, but I can't seem to find a way to do so. I've tried the
same parameters used for jets:
control-input axis=/controls/engines/engine[0]/reverser
control=REVERSE_THRUST /
control-output control=REVERSE_THRUST
Something I've always thought about is an official aircraft repository
that contained non-GPL2 aircraft- straight from the authors, of course.
There are many aircraft for FlightGear that are not GPL-licensed (some
of them very well-developed, like the Tu-154b and the MD-81), and I
think it'd be

I’m afraid that the “improved textures” really aren’t an improvement.
Not only do they not work for taxiways, we have also lost the chevrons

Hi All,
After having discussed this issue with Martin privately, we have come to the
conclusion that it is in the best interest of FlightGear to back out parts of

I ran some tests yesterday about the possibility of using static jetways
as placeholders. At KSFO, with animated jetways disabled and no dynamic
jetway models at all, FPS was at about 32-33 on my system. With animated

Why not make helijah's pilot models generic, so that they can be reused
by all aircraft? Ideally, we'd also have parameters for each model so
that their limbs can be rotated for different cockpit configurations.

How about adding an Aircraft Level-of-Detail slider to the Rendering
