Please help me finding something about flying in the space by a path defined by number of 3d points. Or something about space flying physics? "Elite" modifications? thanks. strgazer@quake.ru

Create a curve going smoothly through a number 3D points : you want a Catmull-Rom spline, or, for more control, a beta-spline.

Space-flying physics : That would be point-mass mechanics at the basic level.
