Hi philip, Thanks. That's a good suggestion. Although that means a major rewrite of the G3D input code. At least for Windows. I'm not really willing to put that many hours into bug fixes right now. As I explained on the USA Games list I'm looking for quick and simple solutions to bugs so I can get MOTA 1.0 out of the door. I can worry about rewriting input handling at some other point. I've already got my hands full completing the Windows version let alone finish updating the Linux version of the G3D engine and releasing a cross-platform version of MOTA.
