if not, how do i fake an infinite or large plane?

could you not create a very large rectangle, tehn move it with the camera, giving the impression of it being infinitely large. If it's textured, then just move the texture the other direction as you move.

good idea thanks

The CreatePlane function in Blitz3D is something of a clever trick (look at the wireframe version to see how it's constructed), with it's own separate render and collision routines which I don't think is worth the trouble of replicating.

ah ok, fair enough
