It's the first day of the month, so here's another FlightGear Newsletter! The July edition features an introduction to the new Canvas system, allowing developers to create complex instrument displays. Besides that it holds quite some interesting scenery news and an update on the upcoming FlightGear 2.8.0 release. Enjoy this brand new edition! http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_Newsletter_July_2012 Contributions for next month's edition are welcome at http://wiki.flightgear.org/Next_newsletter |

Enjoy at: http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_Newsletter_June_2012 Contributions for next month's edition are welcome at the usual link. Anyone interested in doing the "contributor interview"? You'll find all the info and a big list of example questions at this page. |

Another month's over; time for another edition of the FlightGear Newsletter! This time with an interesting article about a so called "canvas". When finished, it will allow developers to replicate the advanced glass cockpits that aircraft tend to have these days more easily. The monthly interview features JSBSim developer Jon Berndt. And suggested flights brings you to the highest airport in the world. More than enough reasons to start reading! Finished reading? Please have a look at how you can contribute to next month's edition. |

After more than three years without, shadows are about to return to the FlightGear world. At the same time, some people prefer to fly away from that world and watch it from space. All possible thanks to recent developments! These are just two examples of what's covered in the March edition of the FlightGear newsletter. Contributions for this month's newsletter are welcome at FlightGear Newsletter April 2012. |

May I present you the last newsletter of 2011! Happy new year everyone! Just like last month, this newsletter contains some important information for contributors, so read it carefully. Altough most of the release cycle will be the same as for 2.4.0, there are some important differences with respect to aircraft. Anyone interested to write next month's interview? The idea is that contributors pick interview questions and answer them by themselves. You can either send me the interview, or put it in the newsletter yourself. Contributions for this month are welcome at the wiki. |

We've just entered the last month of the year, so time for another FlightGear newsletter! This newsletter contains some very important information for contributors, so read it carefully. Altough most of the release cycle will be the same as for 2.4.0, there are some important differences with respect to aircraft. This is our second edition with a contributor interview (thanks Stuart!), and we'd like to continue like that. The idea is that contributors pick interview questions and answer them by themselves. Anyone interested to write next month's interview? You can either send me the interview, or put it in the newsletter yourself. Contributions for this month are welcome at the wiki. But first it's time to enjoy the November edition! |

It's my honour to present you the fresh October edition of our monthly newsletter! It's a nicely filled edition, with a couple of interesting developments featured. As of this month we'll also have a monthly "interview" with a contributor. The idea is that contributors pick interview questions and answer them by themselves. Anyone interested to write next month's interview? You can either send me the interview, or put it in the newsletter yourself. Contributions for this month are welcome at the wiki. But first it's time to enjoy the October edition! |

Due to some unexpected problems with the wiki; a slightly later published newsletter this month. Nevertheless we got some nice subjects covered. Lots of (big) images this time, we'll have to see if that's something we'd like to continue with. Comments, typos and anything else is welcome as always!

Even in the shadows of the big news of our 2.4.0 release, there's more exciting stuff being developed ;)A much more advanced AI system, better weather performance, new aircraft and additional development tools to name a few. Keep yourself up to date and enoy reading at the FlightGear Newsletter August 2011. A big applaus to all contributors! If you didn't contribute before, please see this forum post with info on how (and what) to contribute. I look forward to welcoming your contribution for next month's edition! Gijs |

May is over, June is well on its way: time for another newsletter! Looks like summer already started accross the globe, given the slightly dissapointing number of contributions. I guess being outside is in favour of sitting behind a desk for must of us. :) Still, a small group of people is preparing something rather big for the upcoming months: a new FlightGear release! Read more details in the `Release plane´ in the newsletter and see where your help is needed. FlightGear Newsletter - May 2011 Contributions for next month's newsletter are welcome as of now at FlightGear Newsletter - June 2011.

Hi all! Another month just past by. I'm always amazed at how quickly 28,29,30 or 31 days pass by. But I'm even more amazed by the number and quality of work that we, as a community, are able to produce in that time! And thanks to the people that contributed to the newsletter this month, we're able to keep up to date with latest developments. I'll keep it short this time (as I got some FG work to do myself), so here's the link to the April edition of our monthly newsletter: http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_Newsletter_April_2011 Contributions for next month are welcome at http://wiki.flightgear.org/Next_newsletter Enjoy! Gijs PS: If you spot faults/typos in one of the already-published newsletter, please contact me so I can fix them. |

Hi Erik, > The link to the aircraft livery database does not work since the web > server seemingly doesn't find index.php Hm, works fine here... - Did you empty your DNS cache? - Can you view other pages, like http://liveries.flightgear.org/contribute.php? - And what if you forward directly to http://liveries.flightgear.org/index.php? > I've sent a mail to both avsim.com and flightsim.com announcing the newsletter. > The progress made so far did justify it if you'd ask me. The only thing that is > lagging behind now is the scenery, unfortunately. Ha, would be nice if they linked to our newsletter each month! Would be another stimulant to work harder on it. Keep us up to date of their replies ;) Cheers, Gijs PS: Thanks Curt! |

Hi Gijs and Curt, The link to the aircraft livery database does not work since the web server seemingly doesn't find index.php It would be nice to fix this since I've sent a mail to both avsim.com and flightsim.com announcing the newsletter. The progress made so far did justify it if you'd ask me. The only thing that is lagging behind now is the scenery, unfortunately. Erik |

Hi everyone, every end of the month when I pre-read the latest edition of the FlightGear Newsletter, it is proven to me that our community is not "just" alive, but booming! All those people working on various parts of the sims; it is always a pleasure to follow new developments. As I've been quite bussy outside the FlightGear world this month (thus the somewhat small and maybe uncorrected newsletter), the newsletter provides a nice quick update on what has happened. Now what keeps you from reading? Just click and enjoy! And if you like to help us in saving the monthly newsletter for future generations, please contribute to next month's edition at http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Next_newsletter. Thanks! Cheers, Gijs PS: If you spot faults/typos in one of the already-published newsletter, please contact me so I can fix them. |

Hi all, time flies when you're having fun. Apparently I had too much fun last month; because it's already time for a new edition! Altough there was a little less aircraft development going on this month, we do have some nice other developments to mention. Special attention is in place for the excellent scenery work done by ot-666 on the Innsbruck area. On the hardware side, there's some interesting news about Arduino (a way of interfacing FlightGear with hardware). Arduino is currently being further tested/used by several FG-users. For now, enjoy reading at http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/FlightGear_Newsletter_February_2011 I would like to emphasize the need for contributions from all of you, as always. Even if it is "just" adding one screenshot, or correcting someone else's English. I would like to thank all those that contribued to the January edition! Without the help of all those people, the newsletter would have "died" long ago ;) Contributions for next month's edition are welcome at this page.
