Hello felow SuSe people.
This is slightly OT I guess. If you are not a pilot delete this message now....<snip>
Certainly quite a few real pilots using FGFS. I cannot afford it..
I hope you mean the "real pilot" part. You can certainly afford FlightGear. But, let me tell you: if you are an avid simulator flyer you are certainly a lot better than many "real pilots" in understanding the dynamics of flight. Especially if you get into the advanced areas like IFR flight conditions. Wouldn't mind having somebody aboard like you, who understood the situation, when the going got tough.
I found and downloaded FlightGear with apt for SuSE 8.2 Works, kind of. Some instuments don't register etc.Can only open in a twilight mode, But I will install more ram before I ask about it.
How much RAM do you have? Which version of FlightGear are you using?
Only have 128mb of ram at present. Saw an ad though in Office Depot that is offering 256 mb sticks of 133SD ram at $25 a stick after rebate. Probably being headed there tomorrow for two or three sticks.
.....<snip about scenery>.....
Anybody out there using the SuSE version of FlightGEar?
I did, but FlightGear is always improving, therefore I moved over to a CVS update version. But, the one on the SuSE CD's was pretty good.
Thanks, will go with what I have for now. Maybe in the future for CVS
Keep on Flying !!! Bob S.
