Two other things I forgot to mention: The keyboard response is quite slow. To be sure a key is "registered", you have to hold it down for 1/2 of a sec. This can be frustrating when trying to switch to guns when you suddenly find yourself flying head-to- head and you are in missle mode. Second, a tip for those using the mouse: you might try to set the mouse control to "tablet" for less sensitivity. This seems to help stick control. -- ARPA : chris@umbc3.UMD.EDU BITNET : chris@umbc "He was betrayed by the limits of his own potential."
