FlightGear 0.9.10 has been released
Friday, December 15th, 2006We are very proud to release FlightGear 0.9.10 for Mac OS X. The new FlightGear OS X featuring Universal Binary gives the "comfortable" flight to every single Intel Mac user as well as PowerPC Mac users. Now it runs on Intel Macs up to 160% faster. FlightGear 0.9.10 for Mac OS X comes with the new launcher, so you can change options for your flight much more easier. The new launcher also makes it possible to fly with your wing mates. Enabling multi-player mode pops up a fancy on-line map so you can find your new wing mates. Thanks to the easy installer in the new launcher, you can add new aircraft and scenery data in a few second - no need to find the data folder any more.
Have a nice flight!
The new airport-searchable, carrier-ready launcher is available
Thursday, December 21st, 2006FlightGear Mac OS X 0.9.10 has become more powerful. It looks the same, but it isn’t actually. This airport-searchable, aircraft-carrier-ready launcher will give you much more fun while flying with FlightGear.
Using a new "Position" tab, you can search airports or carriers by name, location, country, and IATA code (like SFO, LAX, and HND if available). Flying from carrier doesn’t require any additional command-line options any more. Just select a carrier by searching it with "carrier" at the position tab, and you will be on the carrier.
Thanks to the new launcher, you don't have to re-launch FlightGear Mac OS X every time you want to select a different aircraft. The launcher is still there for you so you can select a different airport / aircraft and fly again.
The new launcher is more stable, and more feature-capable. See "ReadMe" inside the package for more detailed information. The updater for this new launcher is available at the Downloads page. Download FlightGear-0.9.10-r114-launcher.dmg and install it.
Have an exciting flight and happy holidays.
