CONFIRMED AIRCRAFT

The list post here may still develop further. I had been notified of the following "marriages", meaning, that attendees might prepare installing this aircraft in order to prevent yellow gliders

According to the description, the flightgear-aircraft git repository should not be used. Better link to http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fga ... /Aircraft/ instead.

[IAHM-COL]

@ONOX

I don't know who came with such idea, but IMHO is a bad one
Ditching GIT over Subversion!?!

I any case, I dont see "the description" indicating the gitorious should not be used. I succesfully downloaded planes from the gitorious packed individually as log above, but in the SVN you link you either get the whole package or none at all.
It seem a waste of bandwith to get 200+ planes to download a few.

In the meantime I keep linking to the gitorious of individual aircrafts as above, and will look forward to FG admins to straight their path of what is logical when it come to distributing these large databases of planes.

Best,
IHCOL

See this https://gitorious.org/flightgear-aircraft link. Yes, I know subversion is stupid, but you can checkout specific airplanes with svn, for example:

Code: Select all

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon/trunk/Aircraft/p51d


Unfortunately svn is now the place where development of the fgdata aircraft happen. Branches and contributions via merge requests have now become impossible. A much better idea would be to keep the aircraft in separate git repositories just like the old and unused flightgear-aircraft repository does it, but apparently the core devs have decided to switch over to svn. But you can always provide resistance by keeping your own planes in git at github or gitorious... which is what I do too.

[IAHM-COL]

Thanks for the link to SVN too
SVN!? Not me. Guarantee! GIT is the master, IMHO.

Now the link does point to gitorious, not SVN

DO NOT USE THESE REPOSITORIES. THEY ARE FOR TESTING PURPOSE ONLY
Go to http://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata for the current development repository, including aircraft

ie, the difference is what repository in gitorious is being pointed too. Not a recommendation to go SVN!
Now that is a correction I could make for the links above, but the fg/fgdata one doesnt provide a direct download link to get that single aircraft GOOD ONE

And again, I say. Whomever is the one for the last choices (ie ffjth or those in the admin realm!) I hope they just make the right choices.
For the purposes of link above, anyone can get the models anyway they feel confortable with, being GIT, SVN, ZIPs etc.

[IAHM-COL]

Branches and contributions via merge requests have now become impossible.

We may be in parallel universes!

SVN!? Not me. Guarantee! GIT's master.

Good. Can you make sure you also use descriptive commit messages? Reading messages like "020215-1" makes it hard to follow what is going on.

You enjoy branches and merges in svn?

[IAHM-COL]

Good. Can you make sure you also use descriptive commit messages? Reading messages like "020215-1" makes it hard to follow what is going on.

sorry to bother you with the commit messages. If needed, click on the message on github, and you will see a full diff description. Otherwise, my recomm is get a pull
The message system I use is asinine, perhaps, just says date an a incremental index. Few exceptions.

SVN? My favorite piece of ... distributed revision control system. I guess I misinterpreted you: Now I think we are in same page. Git's easy. SVN is.. <<WHY!? why this?!>>

It's cumbersome to have to scan the whole commit diff to get an idea what was changed by a commit, so please use better commit messages.

Uhm... SVN is not distributed, it's centralized. That's why it sucks so much.

i am not shure on what i am taking just yet COL, so dont jump to conclusions.

[IAHM-COL]

Roger. You had been move to undecided aircraft. I thought we spoke about the Nene on Mumble... or so I recall... but that's fine

[LesterBoffo]

I'm still thinking I'll fly the SeaHawk 2T.

[LesterBoffo]

I've done some work on the DH-106 Comet, that was having AP pitch issues with low fuel levels. It's too pretty to not include in this flight. The AP is tamed, and I've added 4800 pounds of additional fuel in two extra tanks.

since all the work is done in the YAsim FDM and the Base .xml I'll post these here to copy.
