I always thought a gimbal style control would be more effective at the fine motor control necessary for some of the fights in Aces High. Instead of moving the stick 3 inches for full deflection with normal joysticks, having the gimbal on the floor allows for greater movement and decreased sensitivity.
Did you put the gimbal on the floor or on the control column?
floor, but it was not a true gymbal. I just made it actuate the pots all at floor level, the movement was the same as a gymbal.
I would get lost easier. Duh no why? With what I know now I could do up a gymbel style ez with pvc but I like the spit control column better.
Actually some might have a problem with the greater movement, especially after using a jet/desktop style stick. You cannot compare the movement with a jet stick vs any ww2 aircraft, the body movement is entirely different. Just flicking the wrist around does not begin to capture the experience. I went for full scale because I wanted greater movement to help dampen my knee jerk reaction flying. Either style stick helped with that. Its like sitting a drum kit now. I perch on the edge of my seat and use all 4 limbs at once.
