From: S.Usher@uk.ac.ucl.cs From what I've found, the mouse and keyboard are read VERY slowly relative to the rest of the program, so ANY slowing of the program WILL cause these problems. (I've also noticed that the display panel is also a low priority task in ELITE, that is why it is so difficult to get a fix on the planet/ station when you rotate the ship). At some points in the program I've noticed a 3 SECOND delay between moving the joystick/mouse and the action having any effect! I still think the original version on the Acorn BBC micro is the best version using the proportional joystick! (The BBC has a built in analogue port). Stephen Usher.
