If you are aware of someone who you think should be +included here, PLEASE let me know. Projects like this are made +possible only by the help and hard work of others. I want to properly +credit everyone who has contributed to this project. + + +Raul Alonzo + Mr. Alonzo is the author of Ssystem and provided his kind permission + for using the moon texture. I also used parts of his code as a template + when adding the texture. Ssystem Homepage can be found at: + http://www1.las.es/~amil/ssystem + + +Paul Bleisch + Paul redid the "debug" system so that it would be much more flexible, + so it could be easily disabled for production system, and so that + messages for certain subsystems could be selectively enabled. + Also contributed a first stab at a config file/command line parsing + system. + + +Bernie Bright + Many C++ style, usage, and implementation improvements. + STL portability, tons o' stuff. :-) + Currently trying to get a BeOS port together but life keeps getting + in the way! + + +Gene Buckle + Gene has done a lot of work getting FG to compile with the MSVC++ + compiler. Also, he has pushed, proded, and bugged me endlessly to + do my stuff right. (I mean that in a good way, because sometimes + when the little nudge in the right direction isn't working, I need + a good hard shove.) :-) + + +John Check + Cloud textures + + +Jean-Francois Doue + Vector 2D, 3D, 4D and Matrix 3D and 4D inlined C++ classes. (Based on + Graphics Gems IV ed. Paul S. Heckbert) + http://www.animats.com/simpleppp/ftp/public_html/topics/developers.html + + +Bruce Finney + MSVC5 compatibility. + + +Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler + Authors of the zlib library. Used for on-the-fly compression and + decompression routines. + http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ + + +Thomas Gellekum + Changes and updates for compiling on FreeBSD + + +Habibie + RedHat package building changes for SimGear. + + +Bruce Jackson of NASA + Developed the LaRCsim code under funding by NASA which we use to provide + the flight model. Bruce has patiently answered my many, many questions. + http://dcb.larc.nasa.gov/www/DCBStaff/ebj/ebj.html + + +Richard Kaszeta + Contributed screen buffer to ppm screen shot routine. + Rich has also helped in the early development of the Flight Gear "altitude + hold autopilot module" by teaching Curt Olson the basics of Control Theory + and helping him code and debug early versions. Curt's "Boss" Bob Hain + also contributed . Further details available at: + http://www.menet.umn.edu/~curt/fgfs/Docs/Autopilot/AltitudeHold/AltitudeHold.html + Rich's Homepage: http://www.menet.umn.edu/~kaszeta + + +Tom Knienieder + Ported Steve's Audio library first to OpenBSD and IRIX and + after that also to Win32 + + +David Megginson + SimGear property manager/registry + + +Curt Olson + Curt is responsible for overall project and source code management. + He has his hands in many of the areas. + + +Petter Reinholdtsen + Incorporated the Gnu automake/autoconf system (with libtool). + This should streamline and standardize the build process for all + Unix-like platforms. It should have little effect on IDE type + environments since the don't use the Unix make system. + + +Paul Schlyter + Mr. Schlyter provided Durk Talsma with all the information + he needed to write the astro code. Mr. S. is also willing + to answer astro-related questions whenever one needs to. + http://welcome.to/pausch + + +Durk Talsma + Accurate Sun, Moon, and Planets. + Sun changes color based on position in sky. + 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. + http://people.a2000.nl/dtals + + +Mark Vallevand + Contributed some METAR parsing code. + Contributed some win32 screen printing routines. + + +Gary R. Van Sickle + Contributed some initial GameGLUT support and other fixes. + Has done some interesting preliminary work on a binary file format + http://www.woodsoup.org/projs/ORKiD/fgfs.htm + + Has set up a 'Cygwin Tips' site that has been very helpful to many + people in getting a Cygwin Unix-on-Windows build environment set up + so they can build FG effectively. + http://www.woodsoup.org/projs/ORKiD/cygwin.htm + + +Norman Vine + Provided more than uncountable URL's to the "FlightGear Community". + Many performance optimizations throughout the code. + Lots of windoze related contributions. + Contributed wgs84 distance and course routines. + Contributed a great circle route autopilot mode based on wgs84 routines. + + +Ed Williams + Contributed magnetic variation code (impliments Nima WMM 2000) + We've also borrowed from Ed's wonderful aviation formulary at various + times as well. + http://www.best.com/~williams/index.html + + +Jean-Claude Wippler + Author of MetaKit - a portable, embeddible database with a portable + data file format. This software is not GPL'd but the author is kindly + allowing us to bundle MetaKit with our code. MetaKit has a liberal + X/MIT-style license. Please see the following URL for more info: + http://www.equi4.com/metakit + + +WoodSoup Project http://www.woodsoup.org + Provided computing resources and services so that the Flight Gear + project could have real home. This includes, web services, + ftp services, shell accounts, email lists, dns services, etc. + + +Robert Allan Zeh + Helped me tremendously in figuring out the Cygnus win32 compiler and + how to link with .dll's. With out him the first runable win32 + version of FG would have been impossible. + + + +NOTE: +---- + +THIS DOCUMENT WAS INITIALLY WRITTEN BY +Curt L.
