Granted permission for the flightgear project to use some of the
sound effects from their site.
+Mark Akermann <flightgear@akermann.org>
+ Redone sun code. The sun now consists of three textures with individual
+ colors which are calculated based on the effect of light scattering.
+ This is accomplished by using various environmental data and by
+ calculating the distance the light travels through the atmosphere.

+Melchior Franz <mfranz@aon.at>
Made that joystick high/low support for joystick hats.
- Nasal-ified the Saitek X45 joystick which now forms the basis of a lot of
- porgrammable joysticks.
+ Nasal-ified the Saitek Cyborg Gold 3D (USB) joystick which now forms
+ the basis of a lot of programmable joysticks.
Created the led.txf font.
- Made some improvements of the telnet and the http interface.
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.

+Maik Justus <fg@mjustus.de>
+ Developed YASim's helicopter/rotor logic.
+ Wrote the Bo105 helicopter FDM configuration file.

+Ove Kaaven
+ Debian packaging of SimGear/FlightGear

Richard Kaszeta <bofh@me.umn.edu>
Contributed screen buffer to ppm screen shot routine.
Rich has also helped in the early development of the Flight Gear "altitude

+Vassilii Khachaturov <vassilii@tarunz.org>
+ Support of navaids as autopilot waypoints.
+ Switching the tower view to a different tower at any time.
+ Various code, GUI, and documentation fixes and updates.

Tom Knienieder <tom@knienieder.com>
Ported Steve's Audio library first to OpenBSD and IRIX and
after that also to Win32
Contributed a first draft of a scenery creation howto.

+Curt Olson <http://www.flightgear.org/~curt>
Curt is responsible for overall project and source code management.
He has his hands in many of the areas, but is primarily responsible
for the scenery subsystem, as well as much of the infrastructure in
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).

Vivian Meazza <vivian.meazza@lineone.net>
Added a number of excellent aircraft models including the Hawker Hunter
and Seahawk.
+ Provided realistic wind, gravity and drag calculations for AIBallistic models.
+ Added the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System and AI code for AICarrier and
+ AIShip, and implemented the TACAN navigation instrument
+
+
+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.
+
+
+Stuart Buchanan <stuart_d_buchanan@yahoo.co.uk>
+ Substantial additions to the Getting Started Manual
+ Enhancements to the Cessna-310 3d model.
+ Added a generic yoke model, a generic throttle quadrant model and a
+ generic pedal set model.
+
+
+Stefan Seifert <nine@detonation.org>
+ Added the save-on-exit option to save the user preferences at program exit.
