Sometimes I come across charts that do not display what coordinates (S, N, E, W) are there. LSZH is one example, take a look at what I face when I try to enter "D8" into my FMC (FlightFactor 757 for X-Plane) in order to capture LOC and APP for runway 14: Then I'll look at the chart, but this is what I see: How may I navigate with this? Here's the chart http://www.fly-sea.com/charts/LSZH.pdf Thanks.

A week in developers' time? That could easily mean a century. Or a "Valve time". Who knows.

I seriously hope PMDG will stand up to their name and make all X-Plane ports available to Linux and Mac, as X-Plane is Multi-platform.

I know I'm late but: If Laminar don't provide beta opt-in, users should wait for official updates that are automatically pushed via Steam client. Also, users are welcome to change the update settings of any particular game to "Update immediately".

Has the mesh on SBRJ been corrected or it still is 300ft above sea level?

Actually, OSG is based on LGPL, and osgEarth should follow the same. So there's no licensing problem if FlightGear integrates those systems. However, FlightGear is licensed under GPL, and if it integrates with non-free software than it's no longer a GPL software. Wrong. You can build any proprietary software to work on FlightGear. What shouldn't happen is FlightGear integrating proprietary software into it's code by default. So in this regard you're more than welcome to develop a proprietary add-on to the Sim, I even support this idea. You license has nothing to do with FlightGears's license. You can launch a proprietary add-on for FlightGear with no problems. And you may wonder: Can I launch a GPL payware addon? Yes. FOSS (free and open-source software) doesn't mean "free as in free beer", but in freedom of speech. It can be purchased, but it's users should have the 4 freedoms: the freedom to modify any parts of the addon they want; the freedom to see the source code; the freedom to re-distribute the program; the freedom to re-distribute their modified program. I personally would. This is totally a question of personal choice, a user can be against proprietary software and yet fly with FlightGear without your addon. The name "add-on" is self explanatory and doesn't inflict on the users' choice 3 - I think there's no possible way of knowing that. Your statement only reflects the lack of knowledge most people have on the GPL license.

I like FlightGear a lot, but it's becoming more and more impossible to fly with it as it's consuming ridiculous ammounts of RAM these days. The aircraft consume a lot, scenery. mem consumption is off the charts, specially with the buggy scenery 2.0 (which one of the developers openly said he made the scenery team release 2.0 unfihished). Even the map is a hog. I hope someday it's developers will realize that most people who fly a free Sim don't have a computer with at least 8 GB's of RAM. This is why I left FlightGear, because it was cheapper to buy X-Plane instead of a new 4 GB memory module. Hell, I was going to participate in the 3D modeling of some aircraft (mainly the P51D), but unfortunatelly I felt I couldn't contribute to a Sim which I can't even fly. Nevertheless, FG is one of my favorite Sim's. Users should see it's "new" 777-Seattle, which is just supperb for a free aircraft: https://imageshack.com/a/pNDq/1
