Thanks :) to you and to all for the kind words. I think the display case is a great idea. I've learned a lot by looking at what others have done.

One of my favorites too. Based on the sim (Pacific Fighters) they were a real nice plane to fly.

>>A bunch of great ideas and style in your interface. Definately new-school.

Keeping up to date is one of the greatest chalanges I've had to face over the years, things change so fast in this industry. But then that's part of the fun too, always something new to learn and to play with.

>>Looks like I could just turn it on and start using it right out the box.

Good, that's the first thing I aim for when I write an interface. Next is an ooh or a cool :)

>>What did you use to render the chart?

I did that in vc++ 6.0 as an ActiveX control. It was actually a pretty easy control to write, the c++ drawing tools are fairly easy to work with, and VFP makes a great host.
