 The main flight loop covers most of the flight-specific aspects of Elite. This
 section covers the following:

   * Jump to the stardust routine if we are in a space view

   * Return from the main flight loop



.MA23

 LDA QQ11               ; If this is not the space view (i.e. QQ11 is non-zero)
 BNE MA232              ; then jump to MA232 to return from the main flight loop
                        ; (as MA232 is an RTS)

 JMP STARS_b1           ; This is a space view, so jump to the STARS routine to
                        ; process the stardust, and return from the main flight
                        ; loop using a tail call
