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:

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

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

755 Author of FGCom, a voice communication program intented for FlightGear
759 John Wojnaroski <castle@mminternet.com>
760 Open Glass Cockpit project
765 Contributed a B1B aircraft model.
768 Lee Elliot <leee@spatial.freeserve.co.uk>
769 Author of the YF-23, A-10, Ann225, B-52 and TSR-2 models.
770 Did a lot of suggestions for better aircraft modelling, some of which
771 resulted in code changes to accomplish them.
774 Innis Cunningham <innisc@hotmail.com>
775 Modelled the 737 and contributed to the T38.
778 Vivian Meazza <vivian.meazza@lineone.net>
779 Added a number of excellent aircraft models including the Hawker Hunter
781 Provided realistic wind, gravity and drag calculations for AIBallistic models,
782 as well as terrain intersections (impacts) of submodels.
783 Added the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System and AI code for AICarrier and
784 AIShip, and implemented the TACAN navigation instrument
787 David Culp <davidculp2@comcast.net>
788 Added the AI model and scenario code which allows non interactive models
789 (like aircraft, ships, ballistic models, storms and thermals) to move
790 around the scenery in a predefined way. Every model can have it's own
791 special characteristics. The thermal model for instance is a non-visible
792 model that creates an updraft around it's center.
795 Mathias Fröhlich <Mathias.Froehlich@gmx.net>
796 Implemented the groundcache code which made it possible for aircraft
797 to follow the ground precisely and, as a result, made it possible to
798 land on aircraft carriers.
799 Modified YASim, JSBSim and LaRCsim to support the groundcache code.
800 Reorganized the code to eliminate the viewer jitter for close by objects.
801 Mathias is responsible for the transition to OSG and he added HLA support.
804 Harald Johnsen <hjohnsen@evc.net>
805 Added a new 3D cloud implementation which also works on big-endian machines.
806 This code allows for clouds of any types and any shapes (and even deformation
808 Implemented volumetric shadowing.
811 Roy Vegard Ovesen <rvovesen@tiscali.no>
812 Implemented the KAP140 autopilot.
813 Added a generic, XML configurable, autopilot framework.
814 Added an Altitude encoder.
816 Made the instruments code much more configurable, it is now possible to only
817 include instruments that are actually present.
818 Added several high level, configurable filter implementations for use by
822 Stuart Buchanan <stuart_d_buchanan@yahoo.co.uk>
823 Substantial additions to the Getting Started Manual
824 Enhancements to the Cessna-310 3d model.
825 Added a generic yoke model, a generic throttle quadrant model and a
826 generic pedal set model.
827 OSG based three 3D clouds.
831 Stefan Seifert <nine@detonation.org>
832 Added the save-on-exit option to save the user preferences at program exit.
835 Space Imaging, Inc http://www.spaceimaging.com/
836 Space Imaging has allowed us to use the images in their archive for
837 commercial and non-commercial use, provided the original image can't be
838 extracted from the textures.
839 Some (if not all) of the best textures in use by FlightGear wouldn't be
840 possible without the satellite images provided by them.
843 Airservices Australia
844 Duncan McCreanor and Diarmuid Tyson created a multiplayer engine for
845 FlightGear when putting together a demonstration to show the possibilities
846 of using Flightgear as the basis for an Air Traffic
849 SkyscraperPage.com http://skyscraperpage.com
850 SkyscraperPage.com has allowed us to use their building diagrams to
851 make textures and 3d models of their buildings.
854 WoodSoup Project http://www.woodsoup.org
855 [ FlightGear no longer uses woodsoup services, but we appreciate
856 the support provided to our project during the time they hosted us. ]
857 Provided computing resources and services so that the FlightGear
858 project could have real home. This includes, web services,
859 ftp services, shell accounts, email lists, dns services, etc.
862 Robert Allan Zeh <raz@cmg.FCNBD.COM>
863 Helped me tremendously in figuring out the Cygnus win32 compiler and
864 how to link with .dll's. With out him the first runable win32
865 version of FG would have been impossible.
