A few years back I was hooked on a game called Air Warrior III, which had massively multi-player scenarios, including renactments of actual campaigns. It was waaaay too much fun! I eventually had to erase the program from my computer to save myself from becoming "Tron" (now there's a blast from the past). The people who ran the server had to have flying moderators in order to catch people gaining unfair advantage by hacking the program. In FlightGear it would be trivial to give your Messerschmidt 10,000,000 horsepower. You couldn't even call it "hacking". Since we already have an OV-10 we could stick a J-85 engine on top of it and make an OV-10Z, which the German airforce uses (or used) for gunnery training. It would pull a large dart behind it on a long cable, which fighters would then attack. The benefit here is that solving the dart-towing programming would then lead directly to sailplane towing. Anyway, here's a Lot's of Fun screen shot for all to enjoy. http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/fw190.jpg Dave Culp -- **************************** David Culp [EMAIL PROTECTED] **************************** _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
