Re: [Flightgear-devel] announcing star trek runabout shuttle and questions

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

Hi Ampere and Melchior and everybody who downloaded the shuttlecraft models,

I have completed the VTOL and ground handling I desired to put in the model!
Many thanks to those who answered the questions, it was helpful.

I have updated all files, but if you were successful in downloading anything 
today, don't worry! I have put together a small patch-file (with 3 text files) 
to make the upgrade easy.

I think the fancy features have just been added.
The nasal angle works very well.

VTOL is available through the Hat on multi-button joysticks, in combination 
with the F4 modifier, (elevator trim).

[TAB] also brings up a menu, for those who want to change the defaults. :)
