I am looking for pointers to some flight simulator code.  I mainly interested
in the "real time" hidden surface removal issues, not the equations of flight.
I'm doing some head-mounted display research and need the fastest scene update
possible.  A BSP tree works fine for a static database, but I need moving
objects as well.  Suggestions on the type of algorithms which would work best
in this type of application would also be appreciated.
