Speaking on behalf of the pilots who frequent this forum, I am obliged to inform you that your sim cockpit there is not realisitic enough.

Your hand is on a trim wheel, which is not correct. It is common knowledge that the Albafokker Dr.4.5a didn't have elevator trim until late in 1918, and then it was a lever under the left exhaust bearing, not a wheel.

Sheesh.

I am not buying it until they fix the copyright download issue. They don't even have Joystick sensitivity adjustments and the FM is all wrong .....

LOL!

Hello,

thanks for posting, seems it's a training cockpit for the Antoinette VII ? This one had exactly those controls ..

I hope the TrackIR company sees this, and includes it with the upcoming TrackIR 6 lol.

Greetings,
Catfish

:DD Well, RoF is not complete until the mighty Albafokker Dr.4.5a is not in the plane-list. :)))

Anyway, I want to manually start the engines by hand-spin the propeller! That would be realistic and with a Wii controller it could be possible! :))) Just pressing "E" is not real enough...

Trim wheel, joystick sensitivity, propeller, engine start....what do you people expect??

Ok, ok, I'll get my team (see picture) working on it and we'll try to bring out an upgraded version! Let's see...we'll call it the V1917 Upgrade.

You must think we're stupid ... sure you only charge $27.86 for THIS one ... but what if we want a simulator for the Nieuport 17 eh? Right, that'll be ANOTHER $27.86 and so on and so on.

If I pay for a simulator I expect it to have EVERY plane ever made included in the package.

And the team of assistants included at NO EXTRA CHARGE!

... and a dogfight mode of course.

Ok, ok, jeez...give me a break!

I'll include the simulator plans for the 1912 Blackburn Monoplane for free and maybe throw in the plans for the 1910 Avro Triplane IV.

Remember, this is a fledgling company and I need the $$$ for Research and Development. I forgot to mention, please ensure that payment is in well used and unmarked bills. cool

I can't order the plans until you accept PayPal. Or third-party FEMA checks. Or [showing age] S&H Green Stamps [/].
