Hanging around in the FlightGear hangar ever since 2002, FlightGear's only hang glider finally got an animated pilot! D-NXKT did some fabolous work on creating realistic looking body movements for the [[Airwave Xtreme 150]]'s pilot. To do all this, he first had to convert some files, as the whole model got invisible due to our switch to [[OSG]]. Future plans include creating a JSBSim FDM. That'll allow the glider to interact with the environment/weather. Thanks to JSBSim's flexibility, shifting weight can be simulated realistically! | |||
More to follow in future newsletters. | |||

You can find out more about the Boeing 787-8 Project HERE or wait for a while till a wiki page is created for it. One of the really good points of this project is how most of our findings and resources have been converted into Wiki HowTos for other aircraft developers to use for their projects. | You can find out more about the Boeing 787-8 Project HERE or wait for a while till a wiki page is created for it.
