Patched and working no problem here. It seems quite slippery once you get it up to a reasonable speed, even on a dry runway (I guess tyre design has come a long way since the late 1940s). I couldn't find any controls mapping anywhere - can you tell me how to operate more than just the steering, throttle, and brakes (found by waggling everything on the stick and throttle until it did something :-) For those interested here's a couple of pics from a quick spin around EGXG: http://courgette.jml.net/~jon/porsche-1.jpg http://courgette.jml.net/~jon/porsche-2.jpg Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
