That was a good hint, because I looked at the property tree, and on 9.04 I
see an extra item, /input/joysticks/js
Weird, I think, I don't have a joystick.
Turns out 9.04 recognized the internal accelerometer on my laptop as a input
source and I can control the airplane by tilting the laptop!!!!!
LOL, what a blast!
Not sure if it's a feature, but it made my day!
