June 25, 200916 yr Hey Guys and Gals, I am a design engineer for a prominent sporting goods manufacturer.I have also gotten hooked on these crazy flight sims.With the help of some pilot friends of mine, I am in the process of designing a prototype controller consisting of a column style yoke, rudder with toe brakes, and reverse thrust equipped throttle.I started with this design criteria in mind. Rugged aluminum construction, generic, affordable, realistic feeling controls, with upgradability and expandability options. More buttons, switches, trims, force feedback, throttle quadrants, autopilot, etc can be future options.I think I would be able to tool up and offer the base controls for around the price of an existing Cessna style yoke and rudder system.Please take a moment to review the rough demo video and offer some feedback as well as interest levels, if any. Your input is much appreciated. If it looks like there is enough potential interest, then the necessary investments will be made to go into production.Thank you in advance for your attention.In the mean time, I am having a blast testing this thing.Sincerely, ScottT/A Flight [email protected]
