You need a _reasonable_ card and _reasonable_ amount of RAM. We're not talking supercomputers here... > And, Justus said it before: a good stick and pedals... > And they aren't cheap. My pedals were free... I made them myself and it wasn't really difficult at all. You can contact me if you're interested in building some and I can give you further info - or you could try some of the many different ideas floating about on the web. > How many people got these things but still interessted > in flying with flightgear?

Frankly I'd say that trying to get an ordinary mouse to replicate all those axes of movement was doomed from the beginning. It's just not physically possible or sensible to attempt. > It's only a think - I have no ideas how to improve the > flightmodel to that. I think you've got things completely backwards. The flightmodel is supposed to model reality as well as feasible, not make flying helicopters easy. > I have only experience in Blender > and watching real helicopters. That makes two of us... But remember that just because some highly trained and experienced pilot makes something _look_ easy does not in the least mean that it _is_ easy :-) Cheers, AJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
