I got hooked on CH's products after I got a usb Flight yoke for next to nothing during Linuxtag 2001 in Germany. A year later or so, during my stay in the USA, I decided to extend the system with a pair of pedals, which I can highly recommend. My personal use of FlightGear tends toward showing a serious interest getting to know the real procedures, but with an occasional "gaming" touch, and also occasional test runs during bug hunts. If you're a bit more of a serious user than I am, than I can highly recommend the CH yoke/panel combination. I'd say you'd need them (or any custom-build pedals) if you want to seriously practice cross-wind landings, and stuff like that. The main disadvantage is that they come without force-feedback, but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, IMHO Cheers, Durk _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
