Hi All,
I should have been clearer when I talked about adding buttons for the catapult
function. I am _not _ suggesting removing the catapult commands from the
keyboard, but adding the commands to the carrier dialog as well.
I think that it might be worthwhile providing buttons on the dialog in
additional to the keyboard bindings as completely new users might expect to
find these controls on the same dialog as the other carrier controls
(elevators, turning into wind).
We already do this for the generic autopilot, where there are both keyboard
bindings and a dialog box.
My apologies for being the source of the confusion.
-Stuart
