|
all in place we should be able to simulator arbitrary aircraft.

Paul redid the "debug" system so that it would be much more flexible,

|
so it could be easily disabled for production system, and so that

|
|
|
messages for certain subsystems could be selectively enabled.

Gene has done a lot of work getting FG to compile with the MSVC++

compiler. Also, he has pushed, proded, and bugged me endlessly to
|
|
|
|
do my stuff right. (I mean that in a good way, because sometimes
|
|
|
|
when the little nudge in the right direction isn't working, I need
|
|
|
|
a good hard shove.) :-)

changes including an enforcement to 10 MB space per subscriber limit

which was way too small for the evergrowing FGFS Project's Files.
