Since then, the DRI guys has reportedly done some nice work over at dri.sf.net, while I've been drowning in work for my 802.11 isp client. > http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/autopilot/sim/src/heli-3d/ ..thanks, Dennis. Can this be coerced into showing terrain, or does it need its own terrain? http://decopter.sourceforge.net/ uses a funny way of generating terrain, from a texture, but it needs OpenGL. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
