Compared to many aeronautical curiosities that have taken wing at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center at California’s Edwards Air Force Base over the years, the latest military test stunts did not appear very remarkable. Last April, a low-slung aircraft, about the size of a sport utility vehicle...

On FS2K2 I have installed two controls: (1) MS Sidewinder Precision Pro (USB) joystick and, (2) CA Pro Pedals (USB). Rudder control with these two beasts fighting each other has been my main dissatisfaction with the simulator. What I want to do is to completely disable the twist control of the...
