- (Re: programming FDPro through the OS)
-
- Some keyboard commands would be nice! Gear, hook, flaps, and even
- trim. The current way of "hold-down-the-left-mouse-button-and-wave-
- the-magic-pointer-over-the-controls" is a little cumbersome. I'm
- sure analog junkies would prefer a key to center the stick rather
- than, what is it now? Press both mouse buttons and sneeze on the
- HELP key?? ;^)
-
- They should try going thru the OS *first*, if that's not fast
- enough, then go around it.
-
- As for using the AGA, I'd rather have higher rez than more colors.
- There ain't much to look at in this game, but it was not made for
- sight-seeing. Sharper images of the opponent would serve well.
- I wonder if they could do 1280x400 in 32 colors, fast enough?
- In 16 colors? What about 800x600?
-
- Now, a HMD would also be nice.... but that's another story.
