[comp.windows.x] Interactive X Flight Simulator?

woo@ornl.gov (John W. Wooten) (06/13/91)

I have heard rumours about an interactive flight simulator that uses
the X Window System.  According to the rumours, it allows a user to "fly"
a plane through the Grand Canyon, but also to "see" other users who
might be flying in the same region.  In addition, communication can
be established between those "flyers",etc.

Is this simply wishful thinking on someone's part or does such a simulator
exist?  If so please email me specifics as I don't follow this group.

We are investigating new methods for education at one of the DOE labs and
this has some potential for problem solving and maintaining student interest
as well as allowing group activities.

Thanks in advance,
