[Flightgear-devel] Announcing bluebird model

[Stewart A. <san...@sy...>]

Hi all,

I have finally finished work on Bluebird, and am releasing the first 
version.
I don't think there will be a bandwidth problem this time, as I have 
placed the zip file on a different server.

Please visit:

I have left debugging info in the nasal script, but commented out, for 
those who wish to investigate some things I discovered, that are either 
"features" of the ufo model, or just bugs.

Since someone earlier suggested I transition to jsbsim or yasim, I ask 
the group: Has anyone came close to making such a model that mimics the 
flight characteristics of the ufo?

I welcome comments, and suggestions, after I wake up in a couple days ;)

Stewart
