RE: [Flightgear-devel] [Win32] Looking for a volunteer.

Norman,

to return from the GPL to the original question...

While I like the idea to have FG bundled with Cygwin, I am not sure if this
should be the only Win32 binary available. There will be a lot of Windows
users who are not at all interested in Cygwin, compiling, and all that (with
their percentage growing during development). They just want to fly. IMHO,
they should be given an opportunity to download and install the complete FG
as simple as possible.

You may or may not know that in "usual" Flight Simulation Newsgroups
FlightGear has always have the repute of being "difficult to install". I
think we shouldn't cultivate that repute too much, should we?

Seen from my POV, a complete stand-alone version (preferably compiled with
MingW, if you get that to work) would be fine.

Sincerely, Michael
