           I have always been interested in programming a flight simulator
     and since I have just completed a course in graphics I would like to
     give it a go. I only know the 3D graphics required for such a program
     and I am completely ignorant about the actual flight simulation code.
     Does anyone out there have some idea of what variables I should look
     for? I want to simulate WWI planes as much as possible, so what type
     of data should I get on each plane?



     If someone has some source code that I could plug in the plane data
     too, I would do a backflip! (C code preferred, but I will take any
     thing, or even some BOOKS that would tell me about flight simulation.
     I have hit the libraries, but found nothing worthwhile.)



     Thanks in advance!!!
