Gijs has been updating "The Queen of the Skies" with overhead panel backlighting, an (this time stable) autopilot making one of the best jets in FlightGear even better. In the meantime, effort has been put into the cockpit shell and a 3D model of the upper deck. You can now walk through the cabin, open the animated lavatory doors and nock on the 747's flightdeck door. | Gijs has been updating "The Queen of the Skies" with overhead panel backlighting, an (this time stable) autopilot making one of the best jets in FlightGear even better.

Due to a hard drive crash, the FlightGear CVS server is offline. We have full backups so there is no lost information, however, we determined that our efforts would be better spent migrating our repository over to git instead of bringing the old CVS server back online. Onwards and upwards! Please be patient as we migrate our data over to [http://gitorious.org gitorious.org]. Git experts will probably be able to find the simgear and flightgear projects at gitorious and get started right away. We will update this page with specific check out instructions as soon as possible. | |||
