Well, the balloon lacks one significant thing for an FDM: enable the "plane" to move around. The balloon model works nicely for raising and sinking (just give full throttle...), but as I wrote it I didn't have a clue how to change my horizontal position (and still haven't got one). But that's open source. Eventually there might be someone who knows how to do it and just implements it. I had my fun figuring out all these formulas so the balloon model did everything *I* intended it to do :) CU, Christian -- The idea is to die young as late as possible. -- Ashley Montague Whoever that is/was; (c) by Douglas Adams would have been better... _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
