[OT] FlightGear

[Cian Duffy]

Yes, but I've got a Radeon Mobile 9200 which is fully 3D accelerated
under YDL. *smug*. 800+ FPS in glxgears, compared to 250 on my main
computer, a homebuild x86 which also has a fully accelerated,
apparently faster card (64MB DDR Radeon something-or-other)

However, I *don't* have a number pad. Which seems to be pretty much
required for in-game control. The OSX version also doesn't like me. So
I'm going to try on my HP laptop, which has got a number pad that
doesn't overlap other keys needed by the game - numlock makes it send
the normal number keys like the numpad keys.
