 === Rules and guidelines ===
 * All images in FlightGear should be sized to powers of two (eg. 64*64, 128*256 or 16*1024). Most computers cannot handle textures larger than 4096 pixels. Since FlightGear 1.9, images no longer have to be saved in the .rgb format. Right now .png is most common used among FlightGear developers.
-* Please note that we use spaces in our codes, some developers use rather tabs, to make our code easy(er) to read. Every line that starts a new tag, we press the space key once, so you get a kind of stairs. It does not really matter what method you use, as long as you use it consistently throughout all of your files. But XML files that are used by JSBSim FDMs must use spaces and not tabs.

 * Filenames and directories are case-sensitive on most OS's. Windows is not case-sensitive, so when you are developing on a Windows machine, you won't notice any problems. On other OS's, there is a difference between 'Boeing' and 'boeing'. Since FlightGear is used on multiple platforms, make sure your code makes correct usage of capitals!
