Do test pilots also get to be tested? If so, count me in.
Thanks, Adam

Do you need a helicopter test pilot?

@Sanni-- Yes, indeed, we will need helicopter test pilots! Keep an eye out for when we start taking applications. Thanks for letting us know you are interested.

It looks like I'll be the antique and tail-dragger aircraft test pilot, I like gliders, and I'm also a really good vehicle driver.

I like airliners, especially Airbus, and anything from an F14 to an F18, including the Mig15.

It's good to know preferences, but we anticipate getting clients, and to spread the flights around T-URBO and I will be assigning test flights according to several criteria. Just to let everyone know to expect to fly a wide assortment of aircraft based on our clientele. Of course, as a test pilot advances through the ranks he/she will earn more choice assignignments. :D

Hi,

actually, one of the first thing that needs to be donw is checking on all aircraft in FGMEMBERS abnd FGMEMBERS-nonGPL whether they are loadable, flyable and if so, how well and what problems they have. We need to get an overview. Especially some of the very old planes and some of the loads from FGADDON appear kind of weird, to say it cautious.

Infixed the A319.... it had an error in the model.xml.
Now it loads.
But....
Just load it and see for yourself.
It needs a rework. Someday. Sometime.

@SkyBoat: flying helicopters, for me, is not a preference! I can't fly airplanes... :oops:

@jwocky: how can I download all these aircraft without overwriting the files of my UH-1???

@Sanni,

No worries. There are a lot of helicopters to test. And over time we might try putting you in the cockpit of one of the VTOLs aircraft to teach you some new flying skills. ;)

Ask @ IAHM-COL how do do a FGMEMBERS git pull to download the Repository. That can be done and not mess up your special helicopter. I just did it and it is not hard with IAHM-COL coaching you through the process.
