Howdy Free FlightGear Flyers,
Me Stuff:
Ubuntu 10.04
FlightGear 1.9.1-1
My Version of FlightGear includes a very Nice F-14b Tomcat (Tom Cruise not Included - if he was I'd make him sit in the Back); and Yes - I've read the README.help text file included.
My Question: Can you (and if so how) sweep the Wings Aft (for Low Drag Hi-Speed) and back again Forward (for more Lift - Slow Speed TO & Land). In the nice looking 3D Cockpit - I see the Wing-sweep Gauge - but NO Wing-sweep Contol Lever.
My guess is: There is NO Wing-Sweep in this Model. A Shame - but still a super nice legendary Navy Fighter (for Free).
Any Confirmation out There?
Thanks in Advance !

PS: I've also noticed that additional Down-Loaded (Free FlightGear) Aircraft
http://www.flightgear.org/download/aircraft-v2-6/
for newer versions of FlighGear 2.0, 2.4, 2.6 are not compatible (do NOT Work)
with my older version of FlightGear (1.9.1-1).
But that is the Default Version of FlighGear loaded by Ubuntu 10.04.
Hoping the Software Install Tool would link to a newer version of FlightGear.
My Guess is that by best bet is to go Ubuntu 12.04 (but I like 10.04!).
