====Aerial refueling articles==== | |||
The [[Howto: Aerial refueling|aerial refueling howto]] has been updated and slightly cleaned up, to increase its readability. In addition to that, a developers howto has been written, to provide an easy to understand article on [[Howto: Implement aerial refueling capability|how to implement aerial capability]] on aircraft. | |||
====How do I commit changes to Git on Windows?==== | |||
Three months after our big move to [[Git]], there finally is a tutorial on how to commit changes to Git on a Windows based computer! This allows every FlightGear user/developer to get their edits up in the official FlightGear repository. Let's hope that this will stimulate more people to start developing and sharing their work with the rest of the world. | |||
Read the article at [[FlightGear Git on Windows#Commiting changes]]. | |||
====Nasal articles==== | ====Nasal articles==== | ||
In the aftermath of a [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8995 forum topic], work has been started on expanding the number of [[Nasal]] related articles at the wiki. These articles should help (new) developers to understand the scripting language and eventually write their own scripts. | In the aftermath of a [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8995 forum topic], work has been started on expanding the number of [[Nasal]] related articles at the wiki.

More articles are welcome, as always, so feel free to share your Nasal knowledge! | All Nasal articles are collected in a [[:Category:Nasal|special category]].

==== | ====What kind of bindings are there?==== | ||
FlightGear supports a large range of [[bindings]], which are actions that happen on clicking certain objects/menus. For example, when you click the gear lever in the [[Boeing 777]], a binding actually "transmits" the command to the gear. Another example that is widely used is an autopilot rotary knob (eg. for setting the heading). When you click these knobs with your mouse, bindings define what properties are changed and with what steps. | |||
Work has began on collecting all those bindings in a single document. Check out [[Bindings|the list]]! | |||
