It's still a little weird with a steep roll angle. Found an article on quarternions. It seems that they can be used to solve the problem of the rotation being off center. Not sure yet how to apply it to this problem. Maybe if we can feed it an axis that appears a little behind the origin, apply the euler pitch, and convert it to a rotation matrix it'll move more realistically: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1691.asp#Q47 Best, Jim _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
