: Banking does NOT add to the realism of the game.  Aircraft bank while
: turning to use part of the lift generated by the wings as a turning
: force.  The aircraft must be moving forward at all times to generate
: the required lifting force.  There must also be significant gravity
: and drag.

: Spacecraft do not have either lifting or control surfaces, and turning
: is accomplished either by thrusters or by flywheels/gyros.  In
: DESCENT, the ship is not always moving forward, and there is no
: gravity (although there is apprently some drag).  The ship generates
: no lift while moving forward.  Presumably, it is a spacecraft.  

     I can't figure this one out.. Descent has you roaming planetary mines,
   presumably somewhat far beneath the surface.  In any case, there should
   definitely be plenty of gravity.  More than 0 G anyway.  Even on the moons
   there should be.  I just convinced myself all the robots and be had some
   strange ant-grav mechs.  Whatever. 8)
