=Downloading the 787-8= | |||
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner is hosted in GIT and has been made into different kinds of releases so that users can download it according to what they need. In the Boeing 787-8's Git Project page [https://gitorious.org/fg-boeing-787-8], you can find 3 different Repositories: | |||
==fg-boeing-787-8-main== | |||
This is the main Aircraft repository on gitorious. It includes the bleeding edge version (''master'' branch), and different types of releases of the latest stable version (''stable_d'', ''stable_e'', and ''stable_f'' branches). | |||
===master ''Bleeding Edge''=== | |||
The '''master''' branch on the fg-boeing-787-8-main repository contains the latest development version of the Aircraft. This contains everything that's there in the | |||
authors' aircraft folder from when a commiter last pushed his changes. | |||
'''Download master as tarball''' : [https://gitorious.org/fg-boeing-787-8/fg-boeing-787-8-main/archive-tarball/master] | |||
===stable_d ''Default Database''=== | |||
The '''stable_d''' branch (''d'' for ''default database'') contains the latest stable release with the selected airport diagrams, charts and FMC navigation data. This is recommended for everyone but you can get the other releases according to your needs too. | |||
'''Download stable_d as tarball''' : [https://gitorious.org/fg-boeing-787-8/fg-boeing-787-8-main/archive-tarball/stable_d] | |||
===stable_e ''Empty Database''=== | |||
The '''stable_e''' branch (''e'' for ''empty database'') contains the latest stable release of just the basic aircraft, including models, nasal, systems etc. but the EFB and FMC databases are empty. This is recommended for those with slow internet connections. If you get a better connection later, you can download the whole database only from the ''fg-boeing-787-8-data'' repository. | |||
'''Download stable_e as tarball''' : [https://gitorious.org/fg-boeing-787-8/fg-boeing-787-8-main/archive-tarball/stable_e] | |||
===stable_f ''Full Database''=== | |||
The '''stable_f''' branch (''f'' for ''full database'') contains the latest stable release of the aircraft, default diagrams and charts and the complete FMC Datbase. This release especially features FMC navigation data for 3808 airports (all we have so far)! It's recommended only if you have a very good internet connection. (WARNING! 280+ MB) | |||
''Tarball Download coming soon...'' | |||
==fg-boeing-787-8-data== | |||
The Data Repository contains all the available EFB and FMC Database files. All these files are also included in the ''stable_f'' releases, so if you have a ''stable_f'' release, you don't need to worry about this. | |||
'''Download master as tarball''' : [https://gitorious.org/fg-boeing-787-8/fg-boeing-787-8-data/archive-tarball/master] | |||
==fg-boeing-787-8-devel== | |||
If you're interested in helping develop this aircraft and join the team, you can download the files in this repository. These are not required for the running of the aircraft but include some files like wxradar files, dual control files etc. | |||
'''Download master as tarball''' : [https://gitorious.org/fg-boeing-787-8/fg-boeing-787-8-devel/archive-tarball/master] | |||
==Cloning and Pulling== | |||
Cloning and Pulling the 787-8 repositories are the same like every other git repository, including FlightGear. Once you clone/pull, you can select the branch you want using ''git checkout <master/stable_d/stable_e/stable_f>'' | |||
More information on using git is available at [[FlightGear And Git]]. | |||
