- Well, I can elaborate on this.
-
- First off, it is Jeff, not Elizabeth--but that is another story.
-
- It is completely interactove. Because, you will acutally be playing
- Fighter Duel Pro!! Yes, that is right--you will be playing a flight simulator.
-
- FDPro Flight Recorder (FDPro-FR) samples your position, and the positions of up
- to 2 other aircraft, at a resolustion of 30 frames a second.
-
- When you are done, the program creates a LightWave 3D motion file (ascii).
- You can load it into Lightwave and assign to any object.
-
- The other 2 aircraft can either be the computer controlled enemies, or a
- human opponent (via null modem or modem). You can only have 1 modem opponent--
- and no computer controlled enemies when flying against another human.
