Flight Sim CH yokes/pedals PIREP

Even simpler approach to a movable seat - on rails with a latch
(C clamp concept) or holes in the rail and drop a steel bar (weight
training - lots of iron bars and you select the weight by
selecting the number of iron bars and putting a *hefty* latchpin
in the bottom bar).

Watch out for your fingers!

Auugh. I flipped by an infomercial where a guy was "testing" a ladder
by bouncing it on the step side. It's the kind of ladder that has a
beefy hinge at the apex and no crossmember. He was holding it with his
fingers INSIDE the ladder. I'm sure if the hinge had failed I could
include a link to the online video of the guy losing his fingers...

Yes, far better with yoke and rudder pedals with toe brakes.

To solve many of your sensitivity problems and be able to add all sorts
of cool things, be sure to get the #1 FS addon: FSUIPC:

Next, order up your local scenery and better terrain from someone like:

http://www.pcaviator.com/megascenery/
http://portal.fsgenesis.net/

I can actually follow the roads and lakes around northern NJ on the
sim!

Personally, I use a sim to pre-plan flights (hey, look there's a ridge
I could use as a landmark, cool), practice instrument scan and
navigation (zoom yourself somewhere random and then try to find
yourself with VORs), and to keep fresh with flows. The last requires
you go a bit crazy and build radios, fuel, magneto, etc switches in
more or less the right spot to practice emergencies.

So here comes some radio links, which should make you drool a bit:

Wow, what a perfect example of a poorly designed webpage. No where on
the page do they bother to explain what "FSUIPC" is -- although you
*can* download FSUIPC (and other flight sim stuff) from there.

After a little searching, I found the answer here, on another webpage:

Thanks for the other links, BTW. Lots of good stuff there.

Cool! A tad pricey, at $1800 (pre-built; less if you build it
yourself), but cool nonetheless.
