Hi Curt,
It is a wonderful project - amazing that you can get paid to do it ! ;)
I'm sure this has been asked before, but is the I/O fast enough that you
can pilot the aircraft using the FG instruments and synthetic view?
No idea if it would be useful, bit it would be cool.
It reminds me of a quote I heard from the test pilot of the A380 (or
whatever the latest huge Airbus is) when asked about his first flight in
the plane - "It flew just like the simulator". Apparently the fly-by-wire
system was identical.
