Greetings.

Greetings, all! I've been kinda browsing around, looking at different 3d engines, API's, and whatnot. I'm not a complete beginner to programming, though most of what I've dealt with is C and VB6. I've been a coder on a couple of MUDs that are no longer functional, mainly because I couldn't afford the upkeep on the server. Anyway, I have a vision of building, from scratch, a complete flight control system, and building space-based flight simulator to work with this hardware. Granted, this project will take me through building hardware, 3d graphics programming, 3d modeling/animation, and probably some other disciplines that i've not even touched on yet. However, I hope to finish this by the end of the decade. (no ideas that I'm gonna finish it this year.) Anyway, just figured I'd introduce myself and I look foward to working with you guys to further develop my programming skills.
