Linux support has always been missing.

I asked for help with the keycodes for arrows etc. Of course, nobody replied, but I'm used to it now.

The flight is pretty rubbish I'm afraid (hence my desire to improve it), and the motion is controlled by the amount of movement of
the mouse rather than the absolute position, so click and then move the mouse up or down etc for steering. (Holding it down without
moving it should cause forward motion), if its too slow press + for speedup. It shouldn't move when the mouse is up. Probably
there's a problem. I can't test under unix, can you send me some more info. Thanks
