Absolutely for AH11 :D
Just taking the game one level higher. Going with an EPIC card
which will require a dedicated PC to cover flight data and in turn
send info to gauges(which will be modified next)

He can also use it for other games, not just AH, but that is a good point.

That's a good question bigman,what i'm planning on doing is setting it up on monitor to where all i'll see before me is rounds remaining (see P51 screen next time) i'm zooming now as it is for targeting,so when i get to that point,ill just leave it.and for landing,i can always zoom back

UNITED! THXS SIR!:aok
Picture number 3 hits the jackpot,very nice shots.
It's fair to assume yellow handle is the one for Flaps?
and i can see now how landing gear lever is setup.Looks like ill have to re-think my throttle lever and maybe get lucky on the other handles i see in your pics.
#1 and last 3 i have.number 2 & 3 are sharp!
by all means,if you don't mind,i'll take all i can get,
thank you again sir

Nsty1, what you really REALLY want is what I have in my hot little hands atm....  15 Aug, 1945 edition *RESTRICTED* AAF MANUAL 51-127-5  From HQ Army Air Forces for the Mustang Pilot Training....

This is a reprint actually *mint condition suggest that* of the original pilot training manual, with detailed descriptions, and pictures of all instrumentation and flight characteristics.  I got my copy at a WW2 fly-in at Reading, PA air show...  You can prolly get one from the Mid Atlantic Air Museum Shop fairly inexpensive...  I'll do some more searching to see if I can get a link for ordering.


(EDIT) HOT DIGGITY DAWG!  found it...   http://www.planestuff.com/p51muspilman.html   The first book listed on the page is the one I have.  $22 USD so the price has gone up a bit from when I bought it for $15 USD.

Happy flying!

Message sent....

Cannot imagine why the COX one did not work, unless it was something in the Subject line that got intercepted... :eek:   I have it set to delete at the server side, anything without a subject in the subject line, and a few catch phrases Spammers use...

Weird man... :aok
