Well, I've got the old retail 5.x CD, I mainly use 5.66. The 6.x demo is also fully functional aside from the network thing (also noticed a few little graphics and audio bugs with, I think, both versions, but no showstoppers by any means). I would caution you against 7.x.........for some reason Austin went to DirectInput for joystick support (perhaps for more axis and buttons)........doesn't work in WINE. :( Actually, X-Plane works amazingly well in WINE otherwise. I'm thinking of picking up a 6.x CD for cheap now that 7.x is out. Partly because of my slow computer, and partly because of the Linux thing (even once I upgrade, I'd like to do as much of my X-Plane stuff in Linux as possible). The multitasking and switching desktops etc in Linux is also really really nice for X-Plane, compared to doing stuff in Windows. It's nice to be able to go to a terminal and move files around, do calculations in Python, etc......then go back to the X desktop and have X-Plane 100% unaffected. :) -Matt Bailey On Tuesday 02 September 2003 08:52 pm, you wrote: > I like that explanation.
