Edbert's, to put it nicely, "not well", if you know what I mean.

Seems like alot of talking about where the money comes from, is how they will develop them. And trying to see "How each feels about that".

No, MDJoe (aka Mad Dog) is a member of the 444th Air Mafia. The website is owned by Fedj, another Mafioso. I was quite sure he said he built his simpit himself, but I suppose it's possible he had someone buid it for him. If not, taking credit for someone else's work is not cool. :furious

Look close at the center of the cockpit and you'll see the WM logo!

LOL

I was very bored from a delay that day!

Here's an idea.  If AH would accomodate multiple monitors, put a dedicated monitor in for insruments alone.  Put the simpit in a dedicated 8x8 room with a video projector pointed at each wall.
