IMO, acceleration doesn't cost too much and may be an improvement. Angular speeds might come in handy too. I'm speaking from experience, with the APOGEE system I told this list about a while ago, that's more or less what you need to transmit if you don't want a jerky display. > - !!! 3 integers for location (X,Y,Z absolute world/scenery coordinates) > - !!! 3 integers making up a vector of turn and speed (the direction is > the turn of the aircraft (heading and pitch), the length is the speed) Maybe roll angle as well ? And what about difference between aircraft axis and velocity vector ? Usually you transmit both... either by using velocity vector coordinates in addition to aircraft attitude angles, or these angles plus angle of attack and errr... how do you call it, skid angle ? beta ? > >Also soemthing like "speak freely" would be really slick to > >investigate for doing simulated radio communications with live audio. > > > > > The in-game voice comms are useful.

My opinion would also be to just agree on a different voice transmission system. At least something which would not be necessarily part of flightgear. -- Jorge Van Hemelryck _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
