AgustaWestland Apache AH-64D

Ok flight model for this baby almost done...

The 3d model could do with some love if anyone feels like working on it.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

I did this one because it has two turbines driving a single rotor via centrifugal clutches, which is quite a challenge to model in jsbsim

Once I've done this I quite fancy the Osprey.

And not to bang the same drum again. But the reason that FG is perpetually short quality 3d and 2d artists is the dictating of work being done in GPL... Look at the quality of work being done by FGUK who use CC licence..

It's inhibitive to someone that's prepared to spend hundreds of hours doing work, for that work then to be sold by others.

FWIW;
Someone could do their work in CC. To me, it does not matter.
Even if they allow-want- to get FGMEMBERS distributed, we have the "NON-GPL" sandbox.

And the Osprey .. hurray. Now that's a special ship.
(and there are good 3d models already)

Another vehicle that brings different challenges.

I hope we can convince people that wish to use different licence than GPL to contribute here.
