I'm using linux ubuntu 10.04, compiled using git. ATI 4670 grphx card.
I tried disabling runway-sprites, or w/e, it didn't work...
Any hints?
Thanks
Try flying on the East Coast of the United States more often. There are many improved airports that people scarcely use. You might find me somewhere near JFK (or BWI, IAD, ATL, RIC, BOS...)
