Yes please. It may not be completely realistic, but as we don't have real cockpit illumination, or a virtual flashlight (!), we've got to cheat slightly to make the aircraft usable. > 2.

I recall a while ago a recommendation from one of our graphics gurus that it is more efficient to use textures rather than a number of different objects without texture maps. I would suggest just using a texture map in this case to avoid the problem. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
