That's my thinking as well. Personally, I'd be just as happy with Perl or even Python, but there are probably many more people out there who know JavaScript syntax. Once we remove all the browser-specific stuff, as you say, it should be nice and compact. So, Andy, here's your challenge -- you wrote YASim to prove how small and simple an FDM could be; how about showing us how small and simple a JavaScript implementation can be? I'm sure FlightGear isn't the only project that would benefit. If it's small enough, it might even be useful for handhelds and the embedded market (I'd love a programming environment on my Palm V, for example) All the best, David -- David Megginson, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.megginson.com/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
