Post by: indy007 on June 24, 2005, 01:44:44 PM: He spent all that time & money for a setup using a simulator that doesn't have air combat... I could see if it was Falcon 4, LOMAC... anything where you can blow stuff up, or even a big airliner simpit for FS2004 if that's your thing... but man, I couldn't go that far just to pretend to ferry around an F-16.

Post by: indy007 on June 24, 2005, 01:50:51 PM: nm, looked closer. that's a very odd mix of components. HOTAS controls, 737 autopilot... I do like the ATC controls he put in though next to the VOR gauges.

LOL. Good point, I stand corrected, young Jedi. :aok

Perhaps his next project will be a pod-racer and a shiny protocol droid?

Post by: Gunslinger on June 24, 2005, 07:12:57 PM: I'd be impressed if he had an actual authentic inert ACES II ejection seat in it.

and this cracked me up:

Below the throttle was what I called the emergency panel. It had buttons to jettison stores, drop flares, control ECM and of course a big red push button for the ejection seat.

the F16 uses a center "d" ring firing control handle for the seat NOT a "big red button"

other than that I think it's pretty cool. My wife wont let me build one, I allready asked. I have too many "hobbys' as it is

well if I actually worked on an Xwing or "worm-headed dude" that would be the case.
