As a side project, I'm working on integrating flightgear with some prototype cockpit hardware. Last night it occured to try this out with the A4. That turned out to be pretty sweet, being able to fly with a yoke, throttle, tune the radios, operate the flaps, all with hardware. Of course the hardware is designed to be a C172 so that's where it is optimal, but still very nice with the A4 ...
