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.
29 Raul Alonzo <amil@las.es>
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
70 Paul Bleisch <pbleisch@acm.org>

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.) :-)

703 (like aircraft, ships, ballistic models, storms and thermals) to move
704 around the scenery in a predefined way. Every model can have it's own
705 special characteristics. The thermal model for instance is a non-visible
706 model that creates an updraft around it's center.
709 Mathias Fröhlich <Mathias.Froehlich@gmx.net>
710 Implemented the groundcache code which made it possible for aircraft
711 to follow the ground precisely and, as a result, made it possible to
712 land on aircraft carriers.
713 Modified YASim, JSBSim and LaRCsim to support the groundcache code.
714 Reorganized the code to eliminate the viewer jitter for close by objects.
717 Harald Johnsen <hjohnsen@evc.net>
718 Added a new 3D cloud implementation which also works on big-endian machines.
719 This code allows for clouds of any types and any shapes (and even deformation
721 Implemented volumetric shadowing.
724 Roy Vegard Ovesen <rvovesen@tiscali.no>
725 Implemented the KAP140 autopilot.
726 Added a generic, XML configurable, autopilot framework.
727 Added an Altitude encoder.
729 Made the instruments code much more configurable, it is now possible to only
730 include instruments that are actually present.
731 Added several high level, configurable filter implementations for use by
735 Stuart Buchanan <stuart_d_buchanan@yahoo.co.uk>
736 Substantial additions to the Getting Started Manual
737 Enhancements to the Cessna-310 3d model.
738 Added a generic yoke model, a generic throttle quadrant model and a
739 generic pedal set model.
740 OSG based three 3D clouds.
744 Stefan Seifert <nine@detonation.org>
745 Added the save-on-exit option to save the user preferences at program exit.
748 Space Imaging, Inc http://www.spaceimaging.com/
749 Space Imaging has allowed us to use the images in their archive for
750 commercial and non-commercial use, provided the original image can't be
751 extracted from the textures.
752 Some (if not all) of the best textures in use by FlightGear wouldn't be
753 possible without the satellite images provided by them.
756 Airservices Australia
757 Duncan McCreanor and Diarmuid Tyson created a multiplayer engine for
758 FlightGear when putting together a demonstration to show the possibilities
759 of using Flightgear as the basis for an Air Traffic
762 SkyscraperPage.com http://skyscraperpage.com
763 SkyscraperPage.com has allowed us to use their building diagrams to
764 make textures and 3d models of their buildings.
767 WoodSoup Project http://www.woodsoup.org
768 [ FlightGear no longer uses woodsoup services, but we appreciate
769 the support provided to our project during the time they hosted us. ]
770 Provided computing resources and services so that the Flight Gear
771 project could have real home. This includes, web services,
772 ftp services, shell accounts, email lists, dns services, etc.

776 Helped me tremendously in figuring out the Cygnus win32 compiler and
777 how to link with .dll's. With out him the first runable win32
778 version of FG would have been impossible.
