I thought I was done, but you know how it goes. I thought of several ideas for improvements, and managed to write the code to do it. In the latest, and hopefully final release of shuttlecraft and runabout, I have doubled the nasal code size to make ALL engine animations and sound effects act

To everybody who is interested in ufo alternatives, the runabout and both shuttles are now out of development, and have undergone substantial improvements. http://www.geocities.com/sandreas41/flightgear_aircraft.html Enjoy! Stewart Joacim Persson wrote: Ha! You can run but you can't hide from

I'm personally hoping a shuttlecraft will replace the ufo. Light and maneuverable, excellent for flying close to the ground, up mountain canyons. But you probably guessed that already. ;) Perhaps the Klingon Bird of Prey is small enough to fly near the ground. If it doesn't have too many

Hi, Geocities has an hourly limit of 4.2Mb for free accounts, so there's not much I can do short of finding a different site to host on. I had forgotten about this and did not anticipate the high level of interest. Because Danube is shorter than runabout? ;) or because I wouldn't name a c172
