I have no idea - I don't have much to do with the Windoze
side of the build mechanism.  I know that people do build
it under MSVC - so this *should* work OK.  I can't imagine
that SourceSafe should be involved.

Well, I design flight simulator software as my full-time
job - so I could perhaps help with any specific questions
you have.

Also, you might want to note that the FlightGear OpenSourced
flight simulator project (www.flightgear.org) also uses
PLIB - their mailing list (which has a significant overlap
with the membership of this list) is a *great* place to ask
questions about flight simulation.

I'm not aware of any online tutorials - it's rather a large
subject area and any comprehensive tutorial would consume
a dozen books.
