I have a friend who is interested in writing a flight simulator on
a platform that's relatively affordable but fairly powerful (I'm
guessing for under $10k).  He's an experienced C programmer, but
mostly on higher end systems (like an SGI).  He was wondering what
hardware for high performance 3d-graphics he should get and what
software libraries (for clipping, scanconverting etc) are available.
Thanks for any info....
