At a minimum, the simulator should freeze with a message denoting a destructive contact or out of bounds attitude. For instance, the MD-83 sim at Alaska Airlines is configured to freeze if the bank angle exceeds 45 degrees - they don't want their pilots doing that unless it's absolutely necessary. g. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
