SSG supports 'particle systems' via the sgParticle class see PLIB / examples / src / ssg / dynamics / The easiest thing would probably be to write up a high level interface to a new ParticleStream class < a time dependent collection of sgParticles > and then insert these into the scenegraph with a scriptable binding Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
