Created the led.txf font.
Ruthlessly hunted down memory leaks in FlightGear, SimGear, and JSBSim.
Maintains the only fully working helicopter model in FlightGear (Bolkow 105).
+ Made the GUI code fully XML configurable and added support for themes.
+ Started the Nasal library for easy model animation.
+ Reorganized the joystick code so it won't leave configuration data resident
+ for joysticks that aren't present.

Moon has correct phase and blends well into the sky.
Planets are correctly positioned and have proper magnitude.
Help with time functions, gui, and other misc stuff.
+ Added the AirTraffic module for scheduled AI airliners and other aircraft.
2D Cloud layers (nifty).

and Seahawk.
+David Culp <davidculp2@comcast.net>
+ Added the AI model and scenario code which allows non interactive models
+ (like aircraft, ships, ballistic models, storms and thermals) to move
+ around the scenery in a predefined way. Every model can have it's own
+ special characteristics. The thermal model for instance is a non-visible
+ model that creates an updraft around it's center.

+Mathias Fröhlich <Mathias.Froehlich@gmx.net>
+ Implemented the groundcache code which made it possible for aircraft
+ to follow the ground precisely and, as a result, made it possible to
+ land on aircraft carriers.
+ Modified YASim, JSBSim and LaRCsim to support the groundcache code.
+ Reorganized the code to eliminate the viewer jitter for close by objects.
+
+
+Harald Johnsen <hjohnsen@evc.net>
+ Added a new 3D cloud implementation which also works on big-endian machines.
+ This code allows for clouds of any types and any shapes (and even deformation
+ while moving).
+ Implemented volumetric shadowing.
+
+
+Roy Vegard Ovesen <rvovesen@tiscali.no>
+ Implemented the KAP140 autopilot.
+ Added a generic, XML configurable, autopilot framework.
+ Added an Altitude encoder.
+ Added a transponder.
+ Made the instruments code much more configurable, it is now possible to only
+ include instruments that are actually present.
+ Added several high level, configurable filter implementations for use by
+ autopilot designers.
