Free Flight, Free Speech

Ubuntu installs easily and runs really well on a Mac.

Let there be light ... unless you aren't using ALS.

You might want to update again -- there's a dialog for the autopilot, and ALS procedural lights, plus some improvements to the cockpit for night flying.

@IH-COL: I've just pushed a change that fixes model visibility and liveries over multiplayer. I've tested it with local MP sessions, but you might want to give it a try for real before the tour.

I stole the compass from the C337 because it gives a good reading without parallax errors. Compasses are usually in the centre of the cockpit and the viewpoint to one side, which makes an accurate reading difficult, but this is a good one that you can just read the value from. Left-click or middle-c...

@IH-COL: I've just pushed some changes to FGADDON, the most important being: ⋅ Pitch wheel is pre-selected to 5.0 when running autostart, which is a good climb setting ⋅ Heading hold engages properly when autopilot is first switched on ⋅ Magnetic compass ⋅ Hea...

Because it has a large object spinning around on the front of it ...

I have a Navigraph charts cloud subscription and it's well worth it if you fly regularly with charts. I used to scrabble around looking for odd bits and pieces of Jeppesen, or use the Eurocontrol EAD basic site (which is free to register but a pain to find anything). Then I'd have half a dozen brows...

@IH-COL: I've pushed a few changes to FGADDON. I think I've reduced the bouncing effect on startup but I can't say I've fixed it. I've also adjusted some autopilot logic: (a) The automatic heading capture is less sensitive now, so you should have less problem with roll trim. Values in the range -0.2...

I need to look at the ground reactions - I appear to have a variant of the bouncing bug that affects some JSBSim aircraft. I've seen even well established aircraft like the L1049h and 707 do it to some extent, but they just tend to bounce up and down on the nose gear. The Pup bobbles and bounces aro...

The puppy is in the paint shop: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2838854/Pictures/fgfs-screen-234.png @IH-COL: I have a few tweaks before I commit and commits to FGADDON that include images are a bit of a PITA when using git svn so this won't get uploaded until next week. Consider this link to be...
