Wing flexing? Is that possible in FG? Keep going this way and I might need to replace my Geforce 2 GTS 32MB card with something new, if its worth it (seems to be still perfoming really well though). Would be cool to see wings flex when taking off, or with turbulence etc. Matt > =========================================================================== > Major Andras > e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www: http://andras.webhop.org/ > =========================================================================== > > _______________________________________________ > Flightgear-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
