1 A very special thanks is due to the following people and groups.
3 Note, as hard as I've tried, I've found it impossible to perfectly
4 maintain this file. If you are aware of someone who you think might
5 be included here, PLEASE let me know. Projects like this are made
6 possible only by the help and hard work of others. I want to properly
7 credit everyone who has contributed to this project.
10 Michele America <nomimarketing@mail.telepac.pt>
11 Contributed to the HUD code.
14 Steve Baker <sbaker@link.com>
15 - Author of PUI (a graphical interface written entirely on top of
17 - Contributed significantly to the basic Audio library.
18 - Steve has provided an immense amount of coaching and tutelage,
19 both on the subjects of flight simulation and OpenGL. It has been
20 his comments and thoughts that have prompted the implementation of
21 most of the more sophisticated features of Flight Gear.
24 Paul Bleisch <pbleisch@acm.org>
25 Paul redid the "debug" system so that it would be much more
26 flexible, so it could be easily disabled for production system, and
27 so that messages for certain subsystems could be selectively
30 Also contributed a first stab at a config file/command line parsing
34 Gene Buckle <geneb@nwlink.com>
35 Gene has done a lot of work getting FG to compile with the MSVC++
36 compiler. Also, he has pushed, proded, and bugged me endlessly to
37 do my stuff right. (I mean that in a good way, because sometimes
38 when the little nudge in the right direction isn't working, I need
39 a good hard shove.) :-)
42 Didier Chauveau <chauveau@math.univ-mlv.fr>
43 Provided some initial code to parse the 30 arcsec DEM files found at:
44 http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/landdaac/gtopo30/gtopo30.html
47 Francine Evans <evans@cs.sunysb.edu>
48 http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~evans/stripe.html
49 Wrote the @#$@#$@% GPL'd tri-striper we use and "love". :-)
52 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler <zlib@quest.jpl.nasa.gov>
53 Authors of the zlib library. Used for on-the-fly compression and
54 decompression routines.

58 Jeff Goeke-Smith <jgoeke@voyager.net>
59 Contributed our first autopilot. (Heading Hold)
62 Michael I. Gold <gold@puck.asd.sgi.com> -- Patiently answered my endless
63 "newbie" OpenGL questions. His effort alone has made me a great SGI
67 Charlie Hotchkiss <chotchkiss@namg.us.anritsu.com> -- Worked on improving
68 and enhancing the HUD code. Lots of code style tips and code tweaks ...
71 Bruce Jackson <e.b.jackson@larc.nasa.gov>
72 http://agcbwww.larc.nasa.gov/People/ebj.html -- Developed the
73 LaRCsim code which we use to provide the flight model. Also
74 patiently answered my many, many questions.
77 Reto Koradi <kor@mol.biol.ethz.ch> http://www.mol.biol.ethz.ch/~kor
78 Helped me get on track with setting up fog effects.
81 Bob Kuehne <rpk@sgi.com>
82 Redid the Makefile system so it is simpler and more robust.
85 Eric Mitchell <mitchell@mars.ark.com>
86 Contributed some topnotch scenery textures.
89 Anders Morken <amrken@online.no>
90 Maintains the European mirror of the FG web pages.
93 Alan Murta <amurta@cs.man.ac.uk>
94 http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/aig/staff/alan/software/
95 Created the Generic Polygon Clipping library
98 Jonathan R Shewchuk <Jonathan_R_Shewchuk@ux4.sp.cs.cmu.edu>
99 Author of the Triangle program. Triangle is used to calculate the
100 Delauney triangulation of our irregular terrain.
103 U.S. Geological Survey - http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/doc/edchome/ndcdb/ndcdb.html
104 Provided geographic data used by this project
107 Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@games.no>
108 Incorporated the Gnu automake/autoconf system (with libtool).
109 This should streamline and standardize the build process for all
110 Unix-like platforms. It should have little effect on IDE type
111 environments since the don't use the Unix make system.
114 Chris Schoeneman <crs@millpond.engr.sgi.com>
115 Contributed some 3d sound playing code for Irix, Win32, and Linux
116 It is unclear if this code will be used directly, but it certainly
117 will have an influence on the development of our own audio library.
120 Durk Talsma <pn_talsma@macmail.psy.uva.nl>
121 Accurate Sun, Moon, and Planets. Sun changes color based on
122 position in sky. Moon has correct phase and blends well into the
123 sky. Planets are correctly positioned and have proper magnitude.
126 Carmelo Volpe <carmelo.volpe@csb.ki.se>
127 Porting Flight Gear to the Metro Works development environment (PC/Mac)
130 Robert Allan Zeh <raz@cmg.FCNBD.COM>
131 Helped me tremendously in figuring out the Cygnus win32 compiler and
132 how to link with .dll's. With out him the first runable win32
133 version of FG would have been impossible.
