Independent of this project, I, too, have been working on kinesthetic analogues to various sensory inputs experienced during flight.  The most promising is a pneumatic collar used to simulate the effect of g's and especially black outs.  Currently, the prototype utilizes a 155 HP diesel-powered pneumatic pump, as the desired upper limit of effect and fidelity of square-wave response time seems to work best at upwards of 6000 psi in the collar, although there are some dangers to vasculature and vertebral integrity (and in fact partial or full decapitation of all test subjects to date) that still remain to be worked out.  I am willing to contribute this technology to the project.

I just saw the video you made of your first live subject testing of your pneumatic collar.  While it does look very promising, especially for the flight sim market it does have a long way to go.

I have been told by Mike's ack that he will unfortunately be in the hospital for quite some time.  The scorpion bite was a blessing in disguise because they found he had a tumor in the brain scan.

  Holy CRAP :x This game gives ya Tumors? Where do I send cash.Im selling the house to back this project. :O

Fastride is correct, the screenshots are photorealistic.  I can't wait for the game to come out in 2 weeks.

Mazz, can we go ahead and start a wishlist now?  

1.  I want there to be a bulit-in voice modulator with one of the preset voices to sound like yours so I can tune to myself and turn me on.  

Thanks in advance.   :cheers:

(that screenshot is awesome, btw, shows that some ppl will be interested in playing with us)

Those screen shots look good but il2 looks better and has more realism.  No offense.

This all sounds good and promising and all, but.. What about wind? Have you found a realistic-like solution on how to make real wind if you fly with an open canopy? I sure miss the wind in all the other sims..

Nothing like the smell of sea as you are lifting off the carrier deck for another cruise over the Pacific..  :airplane:
