![]() In fact, I don't aspire to be one.Īnd I really fail to see how being one is relevant to dealing with you in particular, however I am someone who has contributed to this project in a variety of ways, including patches to C++ code (many of which you can find in topic branches and on the wiki). Now, I don't know anything about your background, or why my own background, or track record of contributing to the FlightGear project, should be relevant for you to determine if I am qualified to deal with your support requests.įor some reason, I seem to have shown up on your radar more than once - for some other reason that is eluding me, you don't know much about my involvement, and are taking offense by the fact that you cannot attribute by involvement to my real name - and you question my ability to write code - whereas it would take you 30 seconds to literally find dozens (50+) patches in C, C++, Nasal, Ada and Java proving you wrong, just referring to FlightGear related code that you can find in various topic branches, wiki articles/tutorials and forum postings.įinally, to make this very clear: I never pretended anywhere to be a "core developer". I don't even want to imagine what would happen to your reputation as a "Linux writer" should you behave like that on the Linux kernel mailing list, fortunately these are just the FlightGear forums, where we are seeing tons of trolls each month - and you are not even the worst. by the exact same audience you want to speak to. Your attitude and entitlement would get you ignored within seconds on the devel list, i.e. Honestly, by most standards you would be considered a troll, not even entitled to an answer like the one I am giving you now. Quite frankly, I don't even remotely understand why you think that only core developers should be eligible to deal with you and your questions, especially given the poor quality of your bug report and the pathetic nature of your subsequent responses. Given that you said that you are a seasoned Linux user, and even writing for a Linux magazine, I am a little surprised seeing your attitude now. I provided the relevant background information, including suggestions on troubleshooting this issue further, as well as my offer to help you with that. You seem to be concerned about who you are dealing with, while I frankly don't care at all - you posed a few questions, The only thing that mattered to me when I responded to your thread, is the fact that you posed questions about technologies that I am very familiar with, namely Nasal and Canvas - but also the Aircraft Center in particular. I also don't care about your real name, your professional qualifications or your track record in other OSS projects.Īnd here's the news: that would apply even if you were a FlightGear core developer! I don't know anything about you or your involvement in FG matters or other OSS projects, and frankly I could not care less.

As I said, I don't want to be mean to the guy, or any guy who wants to help here, I just have a case with people who act like they are gurus and have written no code at all. I will investigate further and let you know of the solution.īy the way, you sound like Hooray with a different username. I actually investigated the issue, and found that choosing different aircraft download destinations changes the functionality of the aircraft center from "not working at all" to "downloading aircrafts but failing to install". I just asked if anyone faces the same problem as I do, and if anyone has an idea of what may be the problem. Well, I never said that I want a step by step tutorial.
