Hi All, For some reason, fgrun interacts badly with my ATI 9800's anti-aliasing code, so I'm running FG from the command line. In general this is OK, but there are some things I'd like to set permanently in preferences.xml. I can see how to set most options, but some are not obvious. For

I think any $100 hamburgere flight would be best done from airports in the standard scenery set, to save additional download. I'm starting to write one from Reid-Hillview (KRHV) to Livermore (KLVK). I'm hoping to include ATC and auto-pilot instructions so it fits in nicely with Eric's

On the missed approach - apply full power and when you have a positive rate of climb (to avoid loss of height), retract flaps. Climb out should also be on the dead side, climb to circuit height and turn to rejoin the circuit pattern. Regards Sid. Thanks for the information Sid. I've

The reason to push on with using pdf as one of the preferred formats is that generating a table of contents/index is doable. I have seen web pages cut in half by browsers and you can't guarantee the position of an image when printed. PDFs rock for printing, HTML for reading off

The variety makes the advantage. I remember an old A/C with a Tux piloting, i worry it has vanished from FG. When you are talking about stuff what do you mean? Do you mean that FG team must define a standard with a specific minimum to be done, to be acceptable? do you mean a jury must decide
