Hello fellow Elite fans :)

While playing Oolite recently I thought just how much fun this game is compared to Frontier Elite 2 or First Encounters. I do not know why but this Newton physics thing is just getting on my nerves these days. I want arcade style gameplay and controls in a deep and interesting game. Why is it not possible to combine this? Is there any game that is as fun and playable as Elite/Oolite but has the planets, planetary landing and seamless space exploration/trading system of Frontier? Or please just tell me that there is a hack of FFE or Frontier which just gets rid of all the physics and implements standard Elite controls. I know there is something like this out there, there just has to be...

I played glfrontier for a very short moment, just before I discovered Oolite, which made me abandon glfrontier pretty fast. 8)
I have no idea about it's physics or not-physics.
