many control systems 'project' the state variables into the future and use this as a part of the feedback loop. For this sort of thing Kalman Filters are near optimal :-) Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
