+* Various keyboard mapping tweaks and changes.
+* Many updates and tweaks to default material properties and random
+ land cover objects.
+* Updated aircraft: 747, A320, T-38, A-10, B-52, F-104, Fokker 50,
+ Fokker 100, Piper Cub, P-51, UFO, YF-23, Ornithopter, A-4, C172,
+ and F-16
+* New Aircraft: J-22, Paraglider, SGS-126 Sailplane, ASW 20, and
+ AN-225 aircraft; Bell 206 JetRanger, CH-47 Chinook, and Ecureuil
+ AS-350 helicoptors.
+* Updated cloud textures.
+
+* Removed dependency on Metakit. The airport and runway databases are now
+ stored in a simple flat file ascii database.
+
+* FreeBSD, Solaris, MSVC, Irix, Mac OSX, cygwin, and mingwin fixes.
+
+
+New in 0.9.2
+* June 4, 2003
+
+* New aircraft available: P51-D (w/ full 3d cockpit), Sea Hawk
+ (WV908), a research ornithopter (propelled by actual flapping
+ wings), A10, B-52, F-104, F-15, F-16, OV10, PA28-161, T-6A Texan II,
+ T-38, British TSR2, YF-23, 737,
+
+* Updated aircraft: airwave extreme hang glider, asw20 glider, A-4
+ Skyhawk, Beech-99, Cessna 172 w/ 3d cockpit, Cessna 310 w/ 3d
+ cockpit, DC3, Piper J3 Cub, 1903 Wright Flyer, Sopwith Camel, Space
+ Shuttle, Boeing 747-400
+
+* Overhauled menu/gui system and made it xml configurable rather than
+ hardwired. Include support for things like checkboxes, sliders, and
+ dials.
+
+* Added some early multiplayer features.
+
+* Added support for in-air presets relative to a VOR, NDB, or fix.
+
+* Support for Futaba, Airtronics, Hitec, JR, Multiplex and Tower R/C
+ transmitters using the RCJoy USB interface box (see
+ http://www.rcjoy.com).
+
+* Much improved sky and coloring as well as more realistic coloring of
+ the sunset and sunrise.
+
+* Clouds are drawn on a surface that better matches the underlying
+ curve of the earth.
+
+* A few updated terrain textures, better variety of random ground
+ cover objects.
+
+* Most weather options can now be set via the GUI. Added an option to
+ randomize the weather.
+
+* Various instruments and systems can now be failed/unfailed via the
+ GUI.
+
+* Developed scripts to build Navaid and ILS databases from DAFIFT,
+ FAA, and other data sources.
+* Update Navaid and ILS databases based on DAFIFT, FAA, and other data
+ sources.
+
+* Continued development of voice ATC, robot aircraft AI, logical
+ taxiway networks (continues to be a work in progess, but much
+ progress has been made.)
+* Separated out much of the low level model/material management code
+ and moved it over to SimGear where it can be potentially used by
+ other projects.
+* Separated out the low level sound effect playing/management code and
+ moved it over to SimGear.
+* Added functions to the "telnet" interface to allow remote management
+ of autopilot waypoints.
+* Support the parking brake in the "external" flight dynamics interface.
+* Added support for an audio panel (set of switches to set various
+ avionics audio sources on/off in the aircraft.)
+* Add support for speed brake and spoiler controls.
+* Many code updates to UIUCmodel including support for ornithopters
+ (flapping wing vehicles.)
+* Many JSBsim code updates include a new turbine engine model.
+* Added a "named pipe" external flight dynamics model interface.
+* YASim updates including support for manual-pitch control props,
+ support for wing washout, and adjusting aircraft masses as fuel is
+ consumed.
+* The property picker interface now shows the property values changing
+ dynamically.
+* Added support for a simple annunciator panel (fuel, oil, vacuum,
+ volts dummy warning lights.)
+* Added a "gyro" model. This can be driven electrically (turn
+ coordinator) or via vacuum (attitude indicator). If one of these
+ systems failes, the corresponding gyro will spin down realistically
+ an introduce realistic errors in the gauge reading.
+* Model attitude indicator tumbling at extreme attitudes.
+* Modeled the pitot system and use that drive the air speed indicator.
+* Added a very simplistic volts/amps model to the electrical
+ system...enough to make the gauges behave plausibly and drive the
+ annunciator panel correctly.
+* Updated the vacuum/suction model to behave more realistically.
+* Added Italian and Polish translation for the GUI.
