Oh yes, that means more people likely to help overcome problems...faster
improvement of the product... :o)

Oh yes, that would be great ! :o)

For Helis, a good joystisk is enough for the cyclic control, as modern
helis use that anyway. However, it would be great to have a proper
"handle" to control collective pitch, that would make it easier to fly.
also, I tried some pedals once (that came with a steering wheel, was for
a car game), and they although it's great for a heli to control the tail
rotor, the quality was very low. They were way too "light weigh", too
small/cramped, and too "soft". Would be great to have "heavy duty"
pedals for my big 15" sized feet !! :o)
