Re: [Flightgear-devel] C172 Panel Variants

[Curtis L. O. <cu...@fl...>]

David,

Sounds reasonable to me.

Also, I don't think John has gotten your recent level1 -> level[0],
level2 -> level[1] patches into the base cvs yet so people with up to
date cvs for code and base package should be unable to run right now.
I think I mentioned this once yesterday I think so perhaps the next
gentle, friendly prodding could come from you? :-)

Thanks, (You have been doing a great job on the panel infrastructure
and John mostly and a couple others have really been making the panel
look spiffy.)

Curt.
