Is the new adress and MD-88 in FGDATA W SUBMODULES yet?

[IAHM-COL]

Yes. I had just pushed. You can pull it now.

Keep in mind it0uchpods is still working on the ND, and if you can give him a hand, his repo is upstream for dev
And he is considering coming B712 instead

Ok, sorry for being really inactive since the last leg, but I have been literally drowning in work.
I hope I can fly Saturday. If I do, I will be flying my B752. Example Airline: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privilege_Style

Heheh.
The Forbidden: Flightgear's HondaJet USATour version is ready to go for this saturday, and now, it has had (just as the real deal) its first deliveries. (only available via email)

The aircraft features:

• 3d Model shine reflection effects
• A new svg paintkit
• All existing (five colors) liveries with their correct tailsigns
• JSBSim FDM improved and tested to perform on the specs: Climbing 3900fpm, cruise FL300@420KTAS, ceiling FL430, good take off and landing roll lenghts, range on fuel to the cap to 1180 nm ferry.
• Autopilot SYS8 by JWocky (thanks peter for all technical assistance)
• An exclusive Garmin G1000 (ZKV1000) unit completely hooked to the systems of the aircraft
• ZKV1000 can do GPS, NAV1 and NAV2 guided navigation. (it is connected to the route manager, as expected)
• ZKV1000 can do ALT, pitch, VS, and GS holds
• ZKV1000 can do LOC/GS landings on both/either NAV1 and NAV2
• ZKV1000 can maintain VNAV, slaving the controls to the FMS.
• ZKV1000 can change altimeter to STDBARO, and/or display in inhg or hpa
• ZKV1000 can display DME by NAV1 HOLD or NAV2
• ZKV1000 autothrotle is possible to be enabled (FLC) in either KTS or Mach hold (by pitch or throtle)

In general, it is now a very well behaved aircraft, with a very good management system from its GPS (ZKV1000) unit.

Have a fun flight everyone

Thanks! Looks good.

As i am never sure if i go out in the weekends, i am not sure if i will attend the tour. But if i do, i'll take the 777. You may choose a charter here:

http://aircharterguide.com/AircraftSearch.aspx?SearchText=777

The charter criterion is not very limiting, because probably any aircraft is charter-able somewhere.

Kind regards, Vincent
