OK, the right button click (ctrl click on mac os) seems MUCH easier
to work with. I actually got up to 900 ft (somehow) before loosing
control and crashing.

Rudder on taxi is 0.28500, rudder-trim 0v. Once we're airborne these
values aren't changing.
Maybe once I can figure out the rudder controls via mouse and keyboard
this will get easier...
The c310, among others. I'll start the engines, turn both throttles up
to full and accelerate (to redline, actually). Once it starts to hop, I
hit down arrow to bring the elevator up, and the c310 starts wobbling as
soon as it leaves the ground. Maybe I just need to give some sort of
right rudder to compensate for the propellers (or figure out a jet that
works on my system 8-)) Any easy to fly jets that you could recommend
(the 747s arent working on my system).
Incidentally, is there a common denominator to the planes that I can get
working or to those that I can't?
Basically,
c172, ufo, c310, c182 work -- are these all JSB
x15,x24b seem to work, couldn't fly via keyboard, change views, activate
hud, planes did nothing but climb -- don't remember what model these use
747-yasim, dc3-yasim, wrightFlyer1903-v1-nl-uiuc, 747-uiuc, beech99-uiuc
HANG with wait cursor, no keyboard response -- is this a uiuc/yasim
problem on my system?

Highly unlikely, given my performance thus far 8-( Cool game,
lousy pilot! Wasn't it George Carlin who said that he wasn't afraid to
fly, just afraid of the unscheduled stops (i.e, crashes).
Thank you! Ima
