Welcome to the January 2010 edition of the FlightGear Newsletter. The newsletter is going from strength to strength, with the October edition having over 11,000 views in just 3 months. It is very gratifying to see such interest, and really shows the increasing size of the FlightGear community. | |||
In the last edition, I expressed the hope that the new FlightGear release would have happened by the time it was published. Well, that didn't quite happen due to a combination of factors. So, I'm writing this edition in the same hope! I know that there are lots of people running v1.9.1 looking forward to the new release, and I can promise that it will be worth the wait. | |||
Even though I personally run the CVS version of FlightGear, I'm particularly looking forward to the new release so I can point some of my friends at it. Just after the new year I had a couple of friends staying over. None of them are gamers, and certainly not flight-sim enthusiasts, just normal well-adjusted people. One of them used to fly when they were at university, and expressed an interest in seeing what FlightGear was about. So, I loaded up a Cessna at the local airport (Edinburgh - EGPH), and let them have a fly around. They were amazed at the level of detail and had a great time flying around recognizing landmarks. So, once v2.0 is released, I'll be sending them an email pointing them at the download. | |||
