Subject: Window console changes
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6bd2acab78a7b3d497e64a91b5b9c922f2204ce6;p=flightgear.git

Window console changes

- default to SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS (we can still AllocConsole if needed)
- add --console option to get a console on Windows
- ensure --show-aircraft and --help modes show the console automatically.
