if that's the case, they aren't monitoring their twitter feed... i specifically posted to them about the problem several days ago... no response... i'm starting to wonder if the owner has had some RL problem and cannot respond... i've seen too many leave this world and their fam not know anything about what they were doing or providing to the world...

I get around this by maintaining a complete SVN copy of fgaddon here.


As I said elsewhere - the actual repository is hosted on SourceForge, they're up and running and SVN checkouts work fine, so you don't even need a local copy.

There is a news Announcements on the http://www.flightgear.org/ page. Maybe someone else has access to these postings?

What do we do if the hangar doesn't work? 777 not working now since I decided to "remove" hangar from my version and then "add" it again? any other places the plane might be on the 'net please?
