Probably something along the lines of "You'll be hearing from my lawyer tomorrow"

Post by: SKurj on August 01, 2002, 05:43:33 PM: Wonder what this really means...

The unit needs software and hardware to tie the computer from the audio and video to the hydraulics.

Post by: Chairboy on August 02, 2002, 01:03:44 PM: There's a good chance X-Plane has native support for the entire full-motion rig. If the rig follows any type of industry standard for full motion control, then X-Plane can probably drive it.

Just an interesting aside....

It'd be neat if AH supported these things, so we could use the item being sold in the auction above to great effect.

Imagine:

SYSTEM> teufl landed 12 victories in a C-47
ZeroPing> i am so high ri24ru8@(*Y#$R@#Hy
Innomin8> ZP, what happened?
ZeroPing> some bellybutton shot me down and dumped my beer all over me, then I
ZeroPing> got burned by my weed! SIT DOWN!

That'd be sweet.

Post by: Chairboy on August 02, 2002, 02:15:53 PM: Who you responding to, ATC? I, for one, thing there's something admirable about the idea of ZP getting stuff spilled all over him because someone popped him while he was spamming the radio.

It's justice! : )

Post by: J_A_B on August 02, 2002, 02:24:56 PM: I think ATC is suggesting that the guys who have home-built cockpit mockups might be taking AH a "little" too seriously.

And I'd agree.

Hey, no need to pull a bullet into the clip!'

Post by: MrRiplEy[H] on August 05, 2002, 05:48:52 AM: I dont know about you, but I'd feel extremely ridiculous climbing to sit in a static mock cockpit and then be stuck with no motion and a 19" screen for visuals..

It'd be cool at 10 years old.. At 30 its a joke, at least to me.

If it'd be combined with parhelia surround gaming and 3 flat panels as windows it would be coolish.. For up to 14 years.. :)

I think that sidenote in the ebay ad meant that the cockpit lacks the hardware required to control the hydraulics. That means you need $10k worth of equipment just to get it running, let alone accept any commands from your home pc.
