Title: Barefootin' Poll
Post by: funkedup on December 01, 2002, 01:30:10 PM: How many of you fly in stocking feet or barefoot to feel your rudder pedals better. I noticed a lot of people at the Con had to take their shoes off to fly. I'm one of them.

Post by: SOB on December 01, 2002, 02:46:04 PM: That all depends on how cold it is in my apt when I'm flying. I prefer not to wear my shoes tho, as they tend not to fit nicely into the pedals on my pedals. :)

Post by: GunnerCAF on December 01, 2002, 04:24:12 PM: Socks. I have to take my shoes off for better feel of the rudder. I live in Wisconsin, so barefoot is out of the question, I don't want frostbite :)

Post by: AtmkRstr on December 05, 2002, 10:26:33 AM: I used to only be able to use peddals with only socks. While I'm in Ottawa freezing my butt off, I've had no problems playing with several pairs of socks and slippers. I'm looking for a pair of gloves that won't restrict mouse/joystick operation.

I can't use a heater because it would melt the igloo.

Canada's a lovely country, but why the did sombody put it so far from the equator?
