Well, I suppose I can save you some time with the second point, so here goes... Dog allows you to connect to prerecorded flights and/or record flights. I do not know if it allows you to connect to ongoing flights on other machines, because I haven't ever used or had access to more than one machine at a time. I believe it is just a flight option tho. dog -i -o . Layering recordings can make quite nice scenarios. I have built a good five or six nice and difficult enemy targets. You can select heads-up options as well. Shadow allows you to enter a flight as a viewer. You bop around from plane to plane at your whim looking at everything happening from any plane angle you desire. I use it to examine recordings I make with dog. I imagine it can be hooked up to a running flight fairly easily also. Hope this helps. Clay Webster
