 I'm pretty sure that the SeaHawk.ac, SeaHawk.3ds  
 SeaHawkpair.3ds can 
 be done away with right now.
 
 I think Vivian is doing all his development on WV859 and I'd like to 
 keep WV908, if only as a placeholder and reminder, as it's the RNHF 
 aircraft - afaik it's currently the only flying example.  At 
 some point 
 I'd like to refine the 3d model geometry and then unify the two 
 versions (perhaps it will only need different skins), 
 incorporating all 
 the development that Vivian has done...
 
 ...or Vivian might decide to do it before I do :)
 
 Ok with you Vivian?
 

Yes, we must have WV908, but I don't think we would want to retain more then
the textures for that longer term: doing an alternate livery is on my todo
list. Otherwise the rest is all your stuff, and if you are content to have
it removed, I'll do that. Your call.

Hmm Mathias wanted to do a wingman using AI techniques ages ago, and it's
always in the back of my mind. One of these days ...

Yup - alternate livery is the way to go.  Are there any significant 
differences between the two YASim configs?  I remember you once queried 
the forward wing-sweep I'd used but that was because YASim uses a 
mid-chord reference and not quarter-chord - if it was quarter-chord the 
sweep would be zero.  Ah - the 3d-yasim config has the same sweep - any 
other differences?  Your FDM config is probably more developed than the 
one I did.

Other than that, I guess whoever wants to start first just needs to let 
the other know for last-minute checks and so that any plans can be 
merged.

I don't foresee any real problems.

Hello Melchior,
 This aircraft thoughtlessly copies over 500 kB sound files
 from another aircraft, although the sounds aren't even used!
 Don't do that!

 Also, file names with spaces in them are garbage. There should
 be none of those in CVS.
AAAHHHRRGGG ! The suprises CVS files which do not for the drive :(
I erased now. Sorry.
I just delete the whole folder Aircraft before making a new update. So I
would have fewer unpleasant surprises.
 Yes, I do no longer care if aircraft follow any policies or
 reason, but it's my disk space, after all. And now I don't
 diktate that anymore, I just discuss it and complain about
 it publically. Which might end up being even less pleasant. :-P
Still sorry, but do not read the English I just rarely read devel-list.
Fortunately several people warned me.
My reaction time will thus not always as fast.

Best Regards. Emmanuel


PS: though new aircraft contributions are, of course, welcome
as always.

No problem. Not a big one, anyway. I'm happy about every new, great
aircraft. (Especially the AlouetteII -- we've had some of them in
our army, too, -- or the BV141).

It's only natural that we use more disk space with every new one,
