Oh yes, that means more people likely to help overcome problems...faster improvement of the product... :o) > I'll be making some tutorials 'soon' to demonstrate how to make controls like > a full-size cyclic, yoke, collective and pedals from cheap off-the-shelf > joysticks and parts. 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) Vince _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
