10 A1 Free Sounds <techie@mail.ev1.net> http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com
11 Granted permission for the flightgear project to use some of the
12 sound effects from their site.

19 Citation II with Curt and 777-200 with Justin Smithies.
22 Mark Akermann <flightgear@akermann.org>
23 Redone sun code. The sun now consists of three textures with individual
24 colors which are calculated based on the effect of light scattering.
25 This is accomplished by using various environmental data and by
26 calculating the distance the light travels through the atmosphere.

30 Mr. Alonzo is the author of Ssystem and provided his kind permission
31 for using the moon texture. I also used parts of his code as a template
32 when adding the texture. Ssystem Homepage can be found at:

50 Paul Beardsley <Beardspa@hotmail.com>
51 The 1903 Wright Flyer was inspired by a model contributed by Paul
52 Beardsley. Very little of the original model remains, but without
53 Paul's excellent work we might not have our own 1903 Flyer. Model
54 was reworked and retextured by Jim Wilson.
57 Jon S. Berndt <jon@jsbsim.org>
58 Chief architect of JSBSim, the default flight dynamics model (FDM)
59 for FlightGear. Jon's professional work has involved simulation and
60 prototyping for vehicles ranging from the F-16 to his current work
61 on the space shuttle and future manned launch vehicles. Since 1998
62 Jon has been working on creating JSBSim together with co-author Tony
63 Peden. JSBSim is an object-oriented, multi-platform aerospace
64 vehicle simulator that can be integrated with broader flight
65 simulation programs (since it provides no visual model), or run in a
66 standalone mode for batch runs. For more information, see the JSBSim
67 home page at: http://www.jsbsim.org

103 Gene has done a lot of work getting FG to compile with the MSVC++
104 compiler. Also, he has pushed, proded, and bugged me endlessly to
105 do my stuff right. (I mean that in a good way, because sometimes
106 when the little nudge in the right direction isn't working, I need
107 a good hard shove.) :-)

704 as well as terrain intersections (impacts) of submodels.
705 Added the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System and AI code for AICarrier and
706 AIShip, and implemented the TACAN navigation instrument
709 David Culp <davidculp2@comcast.net>
710 Added the AI model and scenario code which allows non interactive models
711 (like aircraft, ships, ballistic models, storms and thermals) to move
712 around the scenery in a predefined way. Every model can have it's own
713 special characteristics. The thermal model for instance is a non-visible
714 model that creates an updraft around it's center.
717 Mathias Fröhlich <Mathias.Froehlich@gmx.net>
718 Implemented the groundcache code which made it possible for aircraft
719 to follow the ground precisely and, as a result, made it possible to
720 land on aircraft carriers.
721 Modified YASim, JSBSim and LaRCsim to support the groundcache code.
722 Reorganized the code to eliminate the viewer jitter for close by objects.
725 Harald Johnsen <hjohnsen@evc.net>
726 Added a new 3D cloud implementation which also works on big-endian machines.
727 This code allows for clouds of any types and any shapes (and even deformation
729 Implemented volumetric shadowing.
732 Roy Vegard Ovesen <rvovesen@tiscali.no>
733 Implemented the KAP140 autopilot.
734 Added a generic, XML configurable, autopilot framework.
735 Added an Altitude encoder.
737 Made the instruments code much more configurable, it is now possible to only
738 include instruments that are actually present.
739 Added several high level, configurable filter implementations for use by
743 Stuart Buchanan <stuart_d_buchanan@yahoo.co.uk>
744 Substantial additions to the Getting Started Manual
745 Enhancements to the Cessna-310 3d model.
746 Added a generic yoke model, a generic throttle quadrant model and a
747 generic pedal set model.
748 OSG based three 3D clouds.
752 Stefan Seifert <nine@detonation.org>
753 Added the save-on-exit option to save the user preferences at program exit.
756 Space Imaging, Inc http://www.spaceimaging.com/
757 Space Imaging has allowed us to use the images in their archive for
758 commercial and non-commercial use, provided the original image can't be
759 extracted from the textures.
760 Some (if not all) of the best textures in use by FlightGear wouldn't be
761 possible without the satellite images provided by them.
764 Airservices Australia
765 Duncan McCreanor and Diarmuid Tyson created a multiplayer engine for
766 FlightGear when putting together a demonstration to show the possibilities
767 of using Flightgear as the basis for an Air Traffic
770 SkyscraperPage.com http://skyscraperpage.com
771 SkyscraperPage.com has allowed us to use their building diagrams to
772 make textures and 3d models of their buildings.
775 WoodSoup Project http://www.woodsoup.org
776 [ FlightGear no longer uses woodsoup services, but we appreciate
777 the support provided to our project during the time they hosted us. ]
778 Provided computing resources and services so that the Flight Gear
779 project could have real home. This includes, web services,
780 ftp services, shell accounts, email lists, dns services, etc.
783 Robert Allan Zeh <raz@cmg.FCNBD.COM>
784 Helped me tremendously in figuring out the Cygnus win32 compiler and
785 how to link with .dll's. With out him the first runable win32
786 version of FG would have been impossible.
