AVS 2.8 Flightsim (sort of)
I didn't want to publish this preset before it's finished, but I ran into a problem:

When moving the mouse up or down, the 'plane' (or in fact the stars) goes slowly up and down as it should. Yet when rolling the plane, it spins around directly, without delay, though I (believe believe I ) am using the same techniques... :weird:

And yeah, I know, the plane doesn't move properly yet and i'd probably better replace the four T2's by SSC's and a Texer(1), but that and others will come later. :confused:

This looks really, really, really wrong.

If you move up/down/left/right long enough, it stops.

Plus, the 3D feel is completely wrong, stars on the left/right move slower than ones in the middle.

If you want to do a flightsim, you need to look up how to make camera-space superscopes (like you'd need for synching DM's and SSC's). Otherwise it's never going to look right.

I know, I know, but for now, it's just toying around with all new possibilitsies...

Yet the thing still puzzles me. Why does the up/down movement go slowly and the left/right roll go in a blaze?

Nah, I'll problably not do that... I love trying around too much ;)
