For the visuals, only the basic 6DOF are needed, but is there also a way to keep everything inside the A/C's panels up to date all the time?
That would get us a good start. Switch off the 3D rendering (as per Curt's instruction) and get 2D panels on the panel rendering machines. But we are going to need some good 2D panels, aside from the 3D cockpits already out there. Redundant FDM's is not a really neccessary step yet. I know that on some professional sims, all of the data is exchanged through a 'push' mechanism instead of a pull-style one. If one functional unit were to be stop sending data, the standby will immediately take over, as it was already receiving and processing data meant for the FDM system (it was only not transmitting data back). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
