Has anyone ever tried this?





Looks kinda cool;)

curious how it works with Il-2, LockOn, etc;)

pity the price has 4 digits before the coma....

That thing looks horrible Macca. I'll stick with my nice cheep stick and throttle set.
I mean only really geeky people and Stu would have something like that


Kev

You know, the look is one thing. But what was making me think is the fact that normal joysticks, like the ones we normally use have a very short distance from the handle to the base. In real airplane control stick was way longer, so control is a bit different.

What next, The computer desk that burst into flames when your hit

and hot oil gets sprayed on player's face;)

Cool!

With the exception of the white buttons ( red, in most helicopters ), the grip is almost an exact copy of the earlier Bell and Sikorsky grips. Many of the WW2 fighters and early jets had a similar design.
The tube is identical to the one in the Eurocopter AS350 series.

USB is the standard, and would most likely work fine in IL-2.

Control might well be more precise, since the stick "throw" is longer. That means a longer movement to get the same response, if modeled correctly.

While $960.00 US seems a bit steep, the real thing would run over $15,000.00. Still, it would take a serious enthusiast to drop the cash for one.

This sort of thing is probably meant to appeal to those hard core simmers who like building replica cockpits around their PCs.

If they have got the calibration right it should address the issues short throw sticks inevitably have. should be a real plus for RoF and IL2 in terms of replicating the original 'feel'.
