Re: [Flightgear-users] New user / new installation on SuSE Linux 10.3

Hello Scott, I don't know if it will help or harm but I have an old step-by-step for installing FG on Suse: http://www.static-lift.net/aero-club/howdids/install.html. It was OpenSuse 10.1 and FG 9.10 so beware. --jeff > - Original Message - > From: scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Fl

I too found the learning curve for Blender intimidating. But since I'm a pretty sure hand at using Wings3d I had even less incentive for learning _another_ modelling app. At the moment I model in Wings and use Blender to convert an exported *.obj file to *.ac. Both Wings and Blender are free and

I fought and fought and fought with YAST to downgrade to freeglut 2.2 on OpenSuse 10.0. Even after compiling it by hand (and YAST identified 2.2 as being installed) fgfs still raised this error. However, configuring fgfs with --enable-sdl took care of the problem. Now it appears that plib is not

To be honest, I'd use FG as the model viewer. The reason being that almost any other app is going to do some sort of conversion in order to display the model. So, viewing the model in a 3rd party viewer does not necessarily show you how it will look in FG. The only apps I know of that deal with

George, I've not been tinkering with FG for quite some time but about a year ago I was bitten with the FG modelling bug. I'm an experienced modellor so I decided to experiment making planes. What I found was that though FG uses PLIB and can "in theory" use any of the supported formats, the ony
