  Just out of curiosity, is there or will there be an Amiga flight
simulator that takes advantage of the 68881, etc? I have played
F-18 Interceptor on my 2500 and practically could feel my hair blowing.
It wasn't just fast but it had the most responsive, action-packed response
I have ever felt on a computer flight simulator. 

  Anyway, back to the main question. Has anyone released one or are there
plans for a version that really would take advantage of the 2500 and
similar machines (memory, speed, new Agnus, etc)? I figure with a 
math co-proc. and '020 you could make the calculations fast enough to
give the machine time to create sharper/more detailed graphics and still
retain a smooth, fast screen update. Am I wrong or just dreaming?



Thanks,
						 E. Mahler
