This one is to all the math wizards...

Im writeing a 3D flight simulator.  Actually, I wouldnt call it a simulator.
Anyway, here's my problem:

If the viewers point of view is at coordinated px,py,pz
and given, yaw,pitch,roll( view rotation about the y,x,z axis's sp?)
and given that I want to move the plane forward say h units.
How do I compute the px'.py',pz' ?  Is there an easy way?
Ive played around with sin's and cos's like crazy, but I cant get it
quite right.

HEEEEEEELLLPP!!!

thanks in advance!!!
