Hi Lego. I realize you don't realize that if James wanted to, he could add the full catalog feature to FG3.6 in time for the Official release of 3.6 on the 17th August, providing he is happy with the current testing he is doing.
So, in light of your "negative" statement, I want you to notice that you can indeed pull up the catalog dialog in the file menu inside the sim, tho the dialog doesn't show anything yet. This is in full agreement with what I said previously in this thread.
To make the catalog work, one first has to put the appropriate url in the new Qt5 launcher, Settings page, press the "Configure Aircraft and Scenery button", and add the url that James is testing to the center box of the dialog that opens titled "Aircraft Hangar Locations". This url is not currently shared by James until he believes it is ready to share.
Without talking to James, we don't know for sure whether this will be ready on the 17th or some later date.
I suppose what you meant to say was that the feature is not ready.
@Jim. I'm with you. I'd like also to be included in the testing of the catalog feature. We are just awaiting word from the main person developing this feature. James "zakalawe" Turner.
