Aircraft models and sound files originated from FlightGear.

Operating-systems:
------------------
This simulator is intended for UNIX systems (Linux, FreeBSD, Apple Mac).

Minimum requirements:
---------------------
- OpenSceneGraph 2.8.
- cmake 2.6

Optional libraries:
-------------------
- FLTK (for GUI).
- SDL  (sound, more joystick support)
- PLIB (alternate sound if SDL is unavailable).

Files:
------
The source code and data files are distributed in separate files:
  palomino_src_*.tar.bz2
  palomino_data_*.tar.bz2
Decompress all of these into the same directory.
Compile and run the program from that directory.

To build and run:
-----------------
cmake .       # cmakesetup . on Windows
make          # there is no "make install"
bin/palomino  # run the executable

Further reading:
----------------
See doc/html/manual.html

To package this program (for package maintainers):
--------------------------------------------------
The program searches for its data files by appending "/palomino/data"
to a set of typical installation paths, eg /usr/share/games/palomino/data.
In case a different path needs to be added, edit GetDataDir() at src/base/conf.cc.
