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.
16 Added clipping to 2d instruments. Added volume control to ATC-chatter.
17 Created and maintain: DHC2, B1900D, Aerostar 700, S76C+ helicopter,
18 Cessna Citation Bravo & CitationX, A6M2 'Zero'. Assisted with Cessna
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

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