Is anyone out there?  I joined the net.aviation news group a week ago
and haven't had a posting yet!  What sort of topics do you people cover?

My particular interest is Flight Simulation - I'm writing one for the C64.
Does anyone have technical specs for the Boeing 757?  It looks like an
excellent aircraft to [attempt to] model.  Flying back from a business trip
on a 757 a couple of weeks back, I got a chance to ride up front.  I got so
absorbed in the instrumentation that I hardly noticed the fantastic views of
the Alps.  That's one beautiful aircraft.

	Sublogic has realtime 3d simulators for trs-80's and apple II's.
They have taken data from cessa's and simulated a cockpit view.  The
landscape usually is a grid of some sort with 2-d mountains and an
enemy airport. If you know of any simulators for vaxen or any other mini's
that are realtime I'd appreciate the information.
