Top down shooter (early WIP)

Heres something I've been working on in the last day or so:
http://lonnieh.1l.com/dl/main.zip (WIN32)

The opponent isn't really an opponent, it just follows the player, and it was just added to give me some extra ideas. The controls are as followed (english keyboard for now)
W, S - Thrust forward/reverse
A, D - Turn left/right
KEY_NUM5 - Fire machinegun

I like how the controls are currently, but if you have any suggestions, let me know! EDIT: Speaking of how the craft moves /EDIT

BTW: I don't know about you fellas' but I'm all about some Raiden Trad :-)

How about a screenshot? Also, just wondering why you would post something after only a couple of days development?

I just might add a screen in a bit. Sorry if I'm posting to quick, just wanted to see some reactions, thats about all.

So far so good; nice smooth animation!

Being right handed, I would prefer to control the aircaft with the arrow keys and fire with some key to the left of the arrow keys, like the space bar.
