Not easily. Changing the parameters requires a re-solution, which can take a second or two for aircraft with lots of elements like the 747. So it would have to be done a little bit at a time over many frames, and probably involve a throttler gadget to keep the frame rate high enough. On an SMP system, you could just spawn a thread to do it and it would work great, of course. But on a uniprocessor, even threading would take half the CPU and performance would drop by 50% for a few seconds while the solution popped out. Is there something in particular you want to control at runtime? Support could probably be added per-device. Andy -- Andrew J.
