OK, thats one end of the scale. How about the other end, a big aircraft with huge control surfaces? The filtering would have to be configurable on at least a per aircraft basis. Possibly on a per control surface basis. > The problem (as usual) lies with the nut behind the steering > wheel.

The problem that I am addressing is the fact that an object can not move from one position to another in an instant. That would of course require an unlimited amount of force. -- Roy Vegard Ovesen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
