Yes, in a Z, both in the front and back seat. It's PIC choice as to what cockpit he/she wants to fly from, typicaly it's from the front.

3. Available Q2 2010, retailing at $400 to $500

4. Rudder pedals. A new three axis pedal set up by Q4.

these are just my musings so don`t take em too seriously

all the best


Not too bad but I wouldn't put any thoughts down about a new rudder setup from them. Also I think the cost may be a bit on the high side with them already having the stick molds ready and working from the Cougar. About the others....well we just have to wait and see.

Waiting and seeing is the hardest part. I figured this would be out in time for Christmas, because the first ad showed up on their site back in October.

I did some GIMPing, here's what we are probably looking at based on the new 'pit shots of the DCS A-10 sim, and the flash ad:

It also says "this is the end of the era of gimbals and potentiometers". Pots, maybe, but there's no doubt the throttles will have gimbals, because they rotate about an axis.

The only way the stick will have no gimbals is if it's force-sensing...

If it uses hall sensors then there must be some movement.
