Good Question.  I am interested in doing the same thing for cockpit 
displays.  My bright idea is to use an existing flight simulator such as 
Microsoft's Flight Simulator Spectrum Holobyte's Falcon 3 and take the 
aircraft's position and attitude data from the modem link that is used for 
playing two games against each other.

Just the other day I asked if anyone had decoded the modem protocol for 
either of these games.  If anyone on this conference has looked into this, I 
would appreciate an reply.  If I get any information from the other 
conferences, I will post it here.

thanks in advance, jeff, millar@mervax.sanders.lockheed.com
