Hi Chris,
agreed, 3-D is not a 099 peculiarity... but I can't run 3-D cockpits under
my implementation of 098a, I've put this down to hardware restrictions and
it hasn't been important as there are plenty of options in the way of
equally enjoyable aircraft.
Some of the new aircraft are designed to run under FGFS 099 and have to have
special makes to run under 098a. Again I reiterate this not because they
have 3-d cockpits but for other reasons related to the changes from 098a to
099 (JBSim 2.0 and the changes to the FDM for example)
I would hate to see a aircraft that works under 098a and perhaps earlier
that is enjoyed by many users "overwritten" and possibliy become
unavailable.

What do you mean by an "098a implementation", and what does backward
compatability mean in this context? What features are implemented in
Alexis' A-10 cockpit that 0.9.8a does not support?
-c
My general comment about backward compatibilty, given the above, should need
no further explaination. My second reference to 098a was more generally
aimed at MP, which I have been informed that if I use this feature under
098a, I will cause frustration to my self and impair the performance of
other MP users. Neither of which I wish to do.
Kind Regards
