Re: [Flightgear-users] FlightGear on mac 10.3.6?
I went to that URL and downloaded v 0.9.6 but after expanding it, there is NO FlightGear application (all other files are there, though). Any takes?

Al, The flight gear application is called fgfs. There is no script called run_fgfs in that directory (yet). Jonathan Polley On Dec 11, 2004, at 8:51 AM, Alfonso J.

[Flightgear-users] Something for the weekend (giggle)
I'm sure some of you will have read this before but seeing as we now have Concorde G-BOAC in FlightGear CVS, I thought we should have some proper technical documentation to go with her: From the Concorde Procedural Checklist (Emergencies - Runaway Electric Seat Procedure). 1. Initial Action: Determine which seat is running away. During the stress of routine operations, it is possible to mistake which seat is running away. Example: if the captain's seat is out of control forward, it shall appear to the captain that the first officer's is running backwards. This is a common form of disorientation and will only last until the capt. is emasculated on the control column. Do not disengage the autopilot at this time as a violent pitch down will result. In order to determine which seat is the runaway, suggested procedure is to awaken the flight engineer for trouble shooting. 2. Silence Aural Warnings: With the advent of a runaway seat, crew members describe noises of a low rumbling nature followed by the words Jesus, my seat is out of control, followed by a piercing scream of increasing intensity and pitch, especially in cases of forward runaways. As in all emergencies and in order to comply with regulations, the first officer will silence the aural warnings by clamping a hand over the captain's mouth and advise, Captain's mouth - shut. From this point on, refer to the checklist located on the underside of the captain's seat cushion. 3. Jammed Balls: Should the seat runaway in the forward mode, the ball bearings will interlock and jam the seat when it is four inches from the control panel. The seat will then be stuck in the forward position and travel no further forward, but begin traveling up in a vertical mode. The captain will advise crew, I have jammed ball, the flight engineer will immediately refer to the captain's Jammed Balls Checklist located in the aft lavatory. It is imperative that the crew check for the control column damage at this time. If the control column is broken, the crew will advise dispatch that the captain has a broken stick and jammed balls. 4. Circuit Breaker - Pull: The flight engineer at this time will pull the appropriate circuit breaker to prevent the seat from running up further in the vertical mode which could cause the bearings to overheat and possibly result in a ball burst. This would necessitate the use of the Broken Balls Checklist. Since the engineer can rarely find the correct CB, it is suggested that any CB be picked at random and pulled so as not to delay completion of the checklist. Example: Pull #1 CB; captains position will prevent him from cross-checking this step. 5. Fire, Check: When the seat bearings jam and stop forward seat travel, the electric motor may short out and start a fire under the captain, resulting in a captain's lower aft body overbeat. The flight engineer will advise the captain of the fire, to which the captain will reply Fire, my backside. 6. Seat Up - Up: Should the seat continue to run away in the vertical mode, the first officer will advise Seat up, to which it is suggested to place a pillow on the captain's head and land at the nearest suitable Airport ___ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
[Flightgear-users] Re: Mac problem
Jim, Thanks for the reply anyway. I've spent about three hours on this today. There HAS to be an easier way for Mac users to use this program. For the life of me, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. But I'll try again briefly tomorrow. At this rate, X-Plane is looking like it's worth the cost. :-( Best, Fran On Dec 11, 2004, at 1:27 PM, James Smeall wrote: On Dec 11, 2004, at 9:30 AM, Francis X.

Fran Fran, Have you read all of the emails between Jonathan and myself via FlightGear-Users? I started asking questions on November 27th. I never re-installed anything, I always worked with what I had installed the first time as per the readme. Did you install OpenAL? ~~ -Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vaughn, WA, USA 20 iMac G5, 10.3.6 Fran, When I was getting the no file or directory message after using the run_fgfs application it turned out to be that the location of the fgfs application was not correctly identified. I needed to go over the instructions many times making sure that every little . or / was in the right spot. I printed out the last readme from Jonathan and followed it verbatim. I am probably not the best person to ask about this, all I did was follow Jonathan's instructions. Jonathan (via the list) does want to know if people are still having problems.
