Lately there has been lots of talk in comp.graphics about a flight simulator by Silicon Graphics and where to find data files for it, well it got me to thinking, are there any flight simulator programs i can get via anonymous FTP for the SUN ( or any other gbaphic terminals for that matter). Thanx in advance =) Stephen Lesniewski spl@topaz.rutger.edu

Well, I wrote one for the Sun that requires a Sun Graphics Processor (CXP machine) that came out pretty good. I distributed the source in the hopes that other hackers would help me work on it (since it's not what I'm getting paid to do, and I can only work on it in my "free time"). I haven't distributed any updates in about a year, but the original sources might still be online. You can get them for yourself via anonymous ftp from acf8.nyu.edu-arpa 128.122.129.2 thanx to John Deragon for making this available. If anybody wants to actually work on the code, I can send them up-to-date code and a wish list. If all you want to do is play with it, then don't come to me with bugs or rfe's because it's not supported. Disclaimer: This is *not* a sun-supported or sanctioned product. It's just something I slapped together in my spare time, which I don't have any more. -- -ed falk, sun microsystems, sun!falk, falk@sun.com "If you wrapped yourself in the flag like George Bush does, you'd be worried about flag-burning too"
