A 737 yoke wont move at all when its sitting on the tarmac.

unless the pilots move it to check control surface response?

The PFC yoke I used was extremly 'weak' in forces (you could move it with your pinky) - it felt exactly as a yoke when aircraft is sitting on the tarmac. This is not the response you get when flying.

Well if you ever tried to move the yoke on the tarmac (assuming engines and pumps off) you'd be surprised it would hardly ever move. It eventually would, but you need way more force than in flight... at least as long as we're talking 738 not C152 here, then it's the other way round, somehow

unless the pilots move it to check control surface response?

They will usually do this with engines running and sufficient hyd pressure.

Regarding waiting a long time for games, Duke Nukem Forever is finally coming out in 2011 after something like 14 years and I'm still probably going to buy it haha. Duke 3D was the first PC game I really played - used to do modem games with friends in high school.

That's so true :) Will be getting it too probably from the gameplay showcased the humor was definitely not lost in the process :D

I'll definately be buying Duke Nukem Forever too, though I was raised on Wolfenstein 3D and the LucasArts space sims (XWing, Tie Fighter, XWing vs Tie Fighter)...man, I would love to have those remade...perhaps PMDG is up to the task? :(

X wing v tie fighter was probably the first game i played, loved every second of it

I feel like im going back in time some with these names. I remember most these games well.

And don't forget Team Fortress 2.... which started development in '98

Yeah, at least PMDG isn't working on Valve Time.

I love my XBox 360, but I love my FSX more :( .

Well said

And don't forget Team Fortress 2.... which started development in '98

TF2, Counterstrike, BF1942, ahh the memories

Not forgetting the still long awaited Frontier Elite 4, commenced in 2000, then canceled, then reinstated, then postponed, etc, etc.Al

Moving the control yoke with engines off and without hydraulic pressure is extremely tough. With hydraulics on and sufficient pressure, moving the control yoke has a normal feel to it.

I still remember when the first of Sid Meiers Civilization came out back in '91. That cost me a lot of sleep and missing a few classes in school.

I guess the average age here is 30+... so funny; no matter what country you live in, people think and do the same. I lost a lot of sleep in these days too. No ,matter if you live in the USA, Brazil, Norway or Holland! Look at te NGX discussions for the last few months. Everybody all over the world wants the same and is hoping for the same excellent aircraft. All jointed together. Oh boy, Christmass is coming! This is the true spirits of xmass!

first games? Wolfenstein and Aces over Europe (loved that game).
