I have FG up and going, but with many questions. Such as- I'm trying to run ADF on the autopilot. All the directions I have found refer to setting the bug on the DG, but the default DG doesn't seem to have one, but the gyro xml refers to the bug? This seems to be a conflict. Any ideas why there is a difference? IIRC the gyro reference would be the DI (gyrocompass) rather than the ADF. There is definitely a working bug on the DI on some aircraft. As for the ADF, I think I had it working with the autopilot on the Hunter. Perhaps someone can shed some more light here The gyro bug works in the Hunter, but IRL the Hunter didn't have an autopilot, so in FG I've just copied Lee Elliot's AP for the Seahawk. If the gyro bug works with the AP it does so by accident rather than design.

Re: [Flightgear-users] Scenary...With no buildings!

If you mean the terminal buildings etc themselves, then the answer is definitely no - it's easy if you can do 3d modelling (and probably as easy as 3d modelling gets, too). You could use Blender, or if you want something easier to learn but less capable, AC3D. AC3D costs money too, although not much. You can submit your models to the Flightgear scenery database, which I mentioned earlier in this thread. If you mean layout runways, taxiways, etc - the answer to that is also probably no, not really - you can use taxidraw (http://taxidraw.sourceforge.net/). The downside to this process is that you can't use your modified runway/taxiway layouts immediately, you need to rebuild part of the scenery, which is _not_ a simple task. You can, however, submit your improved airfield to Robin Peel of X-Plane fame for inclusion, and wait for the next general scenery build.
