I can see it now...

The Airbatic Avenger streaking through the sky skimming the waves and braving the flak from the cv group with numerous zeros firing away ripping off most of the sturdy avengers control surfaces...

"We're lined up let her rip!!!!"

the torpedo falls from the bomb bay and streaks towards the knit Carrier Mitsukagi...

KABLOOOEY direct hit right in the ammo magazine!

the zekes are furious at the loss of their mothership and begin to tear the Airbatic Avenger to shreds when at the very last second a flight of f6f hellcats shreek down and light the zekes on fire.

Sounds great!

Got a question about the new support for toe brakes.  How is this going to work?  Everything that I have been led to believe is that there are not enough axis with an analog connection to handle the toe brake function of some rudder pedals.  Is this going to be a USB controller only feature?  Or am I missing something?  Will the toe brakes on my CH Pro Pedals now be able to work as they should?

Please explain.

If we are going to get the avenger, what do we torpedo the nits sewage treatment plant???

<<G>>

If you're going to have navy planes must have an arena to fly them in such as a pac arena.  Hellcats over Europe were hard to come by <G>

I don't think Pyro said anywhere that those would be the Only planes to be worked on, just that that was what they were workin on now. There's still hope for more....

Toe Brakes!!

I hope that means differential braking will work with them.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yep, its going to be sooo neat.  Those massive german carriers with FW's and 109's coming off the pitching decks.  109's armed with torpedoes, screaming across the waves.  

And of course, Papa Von Boyington, and his group of misfit JG26, Pacific based fighter pilots getting wasted, and listening to polka music. It dont get no better than that!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Please explain.

 You could plug in several analog controllers using dedicated gamecards or EPIC card, but the USB is a way to go.
 USB CH Pedals - 3 axis
 MS PPro - 4 axis
 MS Freestyle - 3 axis (I use it instead of a throttle quadrant)

 Total 10 axis and a gameport/more USB available to plug in more stuff.

 Also - no calibration, drift or spiking. Change your Wicked ways, convert to USB and be saved!

Wicked:

For Toebrakes with 1 analog card.

I just took apart a keyboard and wired the microswitches for my toe brakes to 2 of the "keys".
The new "keyboard" is wired in series with my normal keyboard so I can still use it.
I just map the brakes to those keys, and woooohooo toe brakes.

Unfortunately since I switched to a USB stick I haven't been using my rudder pedals. I'm planning on modifying them to a HALL affect system. (just like the simped pedals)
Why bother ???
Because my pedals are aluminum copies of the real thing, with small, gas, "trunk support" pistons to provide centering and a little resistance.

Too much hassle for most people..I know.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm confused... I've had my CH USB pedals working with differential braking for quite some time.  Each toe brake registers as a DirectX button which I mapped to each wheel brake... works great (hasn't helped my flying, but I can taxi like a pro!).
