Well well, it would seem our shader-based treatment of light and the
environment is quite competitive against what FSX has to offer:

Hi Torsten,
You might want to check out the event input system, I have implemented
some time ago. It's much more flexible than our joystick input system as
it handles more events (relative axies e.g.) and is able to send events
_to_ the device, too (switching LED's e.g.). Tat implemented

One other nice side-effect of using a projector is that their reduced

Hi Durk,
Please note that I never said that we didn't *have* any major new

that we didn't have *obvious* eye catchers. Every feature you mention is
