Great to be able to zoom in on the plane if it's far out, and you're in a little trouble, is sometimes it's hard to pick up the orientation of the plane from a distance (which way IS that pixel headed, anyway? :) ). My only real qualm about AFT (it's been mentioned before) is that it doesn't take care of the people who would like to do "real world" flying. Hopefully SubLogic/Microsoft will fix that for us Mac II owners... >Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM =============================================================================== | _ _ _ | Better the pride that resides, | | ' ) ) ) / | In a citizen of the world, | | / / / o /_ _ | Than the pride that divides, | | / ' (_<_/ <_
