Re: [Flightgear-users] Appealing to MS Windows community

I've been an active unix user since 1979 and I owned a copy of Slackware linux when it was distributed on 19 three and one half inch floppies. I'm not a rooky when it comes to working in Unix. However, I refuse to run Flightgear on a unix box. I'll concede that Unix/Linux is great ... no doubt about it ... but, as they say two hundred and twenty five million Beatles fans can't be all wrong. If Flightgear plans to draw a large audience (and I think it is worthy of it), the Flightgear community HAS TO REALIZE that they MUST appeal to the MS-Windows community. That's just the facts ... it's not an opinion, it's not an us versus them scenario. It's just what it is. There's no denying it. The amount of OS users is the first priority in proprietary software not in the open source software.

Re: [Flightgear-users] Weather makers
Hi, I drove through Germany a few days ago and there I discovered they are the ones responsible for the weather! Cloud generation: http://www.a1.nl/~ehofman/fgfs/images/hpim3791.jpg Wind generation: http://www.a1.nl/~ehofman/fgfs/images/hpim3794.jpg No wonder it's cloudy in The Netherlands for the past few weeks. Erik Lucky you. We dont have those cloud and wind generators in Greece so the temperature exceed the 38C the last few days :( ___ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

It's written in Python using the wxPython GUI library, and at the moment just lets you select an aircraft, airport and runway, although I was planning on including as many of the command-line arguments as I can. I started it because I' too lazy to keep typing the arguments in, but I like to experiment. :-) I was thinking that it could be extended to read .fgfsrc, or a separate config file, to get a set of startup defaults. I'll look into getting it hosted somewhere, if anyone would like to take a look. Are you familliar with fgrun: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fgrun This is a C++ utility doing basically the same. fgrun is great utility but have binaries only for Windows, for me was really easier to build my own in Java than to mess around with compilation in C++.My level in C++ is less than elementary. ___ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
