| 1058 | 2 | 2000-02-17 10:00:20 | <a href="http://www.tuxgames.com">Tuxgames.com</a>'s <a href="mailto:michael@tuxgames.com">Michael Simms</a> poses the following question to you, the Linux gaming community: <blockquote> <a href="http://www.tuxgames.com">Tux Games</a> has been considering a question for the last few weeks. We, as any other company, are looking to have as many products on our shelves as we can. But we already stock just about every commercial game that exists for Linux, and will soon have a CD for the open source games.<br> So, we were considering stocking those windows titles that run under emulation, such as <a href="http://www.winehq.com">WINE</a>.<br> But then we were faced with a dilema. Does this hurt the Linux community by reducing the argument for making native ports? We feel that it probably does, and we are leaning on the side of `we will only stock native games`. But what do YOU think? We would like your opinions on this? Should we, for example, ship Starcraft and a copy of WINE as a package, or should we remain `purely native`? Please send email to <a href="mailto:comments@tuxgames.com">comments@tuxgames.com</a>, and let us know! </blockquote> Considering the luck I've had getting stuff to run stably under WINE, I know what my answer will be.... | Does emulation hurt Linux? | default | |

This isn't quite as flashy as the first pass, but is much more functional, plays much better with opengl, and it should be relatively easy for someone with graphical skills to make it look more spiffy. <li>MacOS fixes contributed by Darrell Walisser. <li>Many JSBsim updates. <li>Added a screen snapshot facility (F3). <li>Added a load/save state function contributed by David Megginson. <li>Added support for various I/O protocols and channels so that flightgear can communicate with itself and other programs through a variety of means. <li>Bug fix: The aircraft model used for external views was being included in the height above terrain check so when the view position and the aircraft model collided the current altitude kept getting pushed up to compensate, but of course the aircraft model would get pushed up as well because it tracks the current aircraft position and orientation. Thus you had a never ending cycle ... <li>Oliver's multiplayer network code now moved to his own subdirectory: NetworkOLK <li>Added simulated cloud puffs as we pass through the cloud layer. <li>Cleaned up some memory leaks occuring between ssg and flightgear. <li>Update to Christian's weather data base code. </ul> | Flight Gear Flight Sim 0.7.2 | updated | |
