Hi Jim!

Name's the same, but I have to ask... is that you flying in some of the Phoenix demos/recordings? That's some nice flying with the Pitts. Any plans to release a Python for Phoenix? (I'm a bipe lover, and now I have something good to fly besides the Ultimates in G3.5...)

I wanted to ask for your input regarding a question I discussed with Ade a week or so ago. Don't you think ground handling and plane breakapart on crash are a fairly important part of flying lessons on a sim? I mean, if you're learning to hover or torque low to the ground, and the plane just resets itself every time you tap the tail on the grass...that doesn't seem very realistic to me. If the plane doesn't reset when I tap, how am I to learn how HARD I can or cannot drag tail? (If I do it over water, it seems ANY contact with the water will suck the plane into the inky depths...) Also, It seems to me that the "student" is being done a dis-service by not getting the visual input of a plane breaking up when they screw things up too badly.

Input from someone who obviously knows how to fly this stuff pretty well?

Thanks.
