I think the solution to a) not litter the cockpit with too many pick animations (easy) b) make the pick animations a reasonable and easy to hit size (also easy) and c) let pilots know when they are pointing at a pickable object (also easy). I think someone suggested changing the mouse cursor when on a pickable object. I suggest that we not hold back due to the trim problem until it actually happens. I have found that the problems that we predict and the ones we actually encounter are often very different. It may not become a problem at all. It might also be a good idea to suspend dynamic view when the cursor is over a pickable object. Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
