Thanks, John. I just knew that there was something like that in there! Hold down the mouse wheel and drag. I knew something cool was going on, just couldn't find it. |

neat...i can fly around, but all i get is the mouse cursor changes to a plane...how do you change between the prop plane and the jet?
And how do you go back to 'regular' mode?

Be sure to click on the globe before the CTRL ALT A
Response sucks and it is nowhere as nice as MS Flight Simulator, X-Plane, LoMAC, or any Falcon 4 derivative but it is, after all, a MAP 
Check out http://flightgear.org/ for a good free flight simulator |
