Actually, that's unfair - I took several minutes of my Sunday afternoon to explain to you how to bring the changes you're looking for to FlightGear, even without having to do all the work yourself.
Now, instead of reading and understanding the responses I've typed, and instead of following the links I posted, you just end up disregarding my message.
Don't you think I'd deserve some more of your time here ?
What's the problem, really ?
You said it yourself: "too much talking, too little materializing".
You know what ? That's typically a phenomenon of people being unskilled.
Not just that though. Unskilled and unwilling to learn new skills.
So they resort to talking instead, lots of talking. Trying to talk to the few people who actually have some skills.
You can witness that in the FDM discussion thread: There's a ton of postings made by many people, and very few postings made by very few people who are obviously skilled an experienced.
So in simple terms what's happening there is this: Those who recognize their inability to learn something new, beg others who already have those skills to donate their spare time according to their priorities.
Simple as that.
So this is typically a sign of people who are unskilled and unwilling to learn new stuff - so they beg others to do it for them, i.e. delegating responsibility to others, instead of shouldering it themselves.
It's a lame excuse, i.e. talking instead of acting - because talking is so much easier than spending many hours reading something and making experiments, i.e. learning a new skill such editing XML files or working through tutorials.
And then you have those few people who actually have the skills required to implement what others are requesting - but they have typically very little spare time, because they're involved in other areas of FG, or maybe even because they don't have enough time to contribute to FG at all, due to RL.
You can usually tell quickly who belongs to which camp of people.
Then again, you have people like Thorsten, Philosopher or Gijs who have contributed hundreds -even thousands- of hours contributing to FlightGear. And they're typically the ones being asked to provide help and support in a 1:1 mentoring setup. Despite the fact that these very people also spent many hours creating resources (such as tutorials) to enable others to learn the very same skills they've acquired, by playing with "hello world" examples, experimenting a bit and working through tutorials and code examples.
It's "education", just that - education always pays off, no matter if it's a degree in real life, or if it's time spent learning a new skill, such as cooking or programming, 3D modeling or writing.
Successful contributors always seem to have understood that you need to be able to walk before you try to run.
Many others didn't understand that, even if they were told so. We had one guy interested in "rewriting" the bombable addon, without ever looking into the code, without talking to flug (its developer) first.
Kinda uninformed and stupid isn't it ?
If you want to participate in a F1 race, you need to understand the rules first - and better already know how to drive a car, right ?
If you were to learn how to play golf, you'd better spend some first getting the basics straight, right ?
You'd be kinda ill-advised to directly ask Tiger Woods to coach you, right ?
But that's exactly what's happening once people come here with a zero track record of contributing to the project, and without any obvious willingness to do some upfront work, and then ask folks like Thorsten or Philosopher to "coach" them, because they are "Tiger Woods" in FG terms
Kinda annoying if you ask me ...
Honestly, instead of asking the pros to accommodate you, show some willingness to get started first of all.
Especially at a stage where you still have zero clue about anything relevant apparently and zero interest in rolling up your sleeves to make some experiments first ?
How is this supposed to work out ?
Really, this is a honest question I'm asking here.
</Analogy-Day> PS: If you just want to get started, pick a simple project first
