Your never to old to enjoy any sim! The whole point of simulation is to have fun through immersion into the world! Toys? by that measure anyone with a joystick has a toy. lol no pun intended. No time is ever wasted in creating something people enjoy! I love you guys for keeping this sim alive!
Since the game already has Force Feedback implemented I would hope it to be a small undertaking! Maybe we could even get it crowd funded! So you guys could get paid to complete it! It would be an amazingly cool addition! And it would be in One of only 3 simulators that support it!!!
Right now only Falcon 4 BMS & DCS support it and their the top of the crop sims! It would be EECH into that category bringing a better balance to Arcade simulation to the forefront without such an incredibly serious look on realism like DCS but with more of a focus on immersion!
I was once a child.
Hard to imagine I know with this lanky body and weak limbs. And All I ever wanted was to play this one arcade game with my friends that was an Apache Simulator at the local arcade. It had 3D triangles for targets! but it was soooo Immersive!.... It had a
HOTAS though very basic stick and throttle and I used tons of quarters on it! It was my favorite thing to do at the arcade, because it even had this stupid thumping hammer thing that hit behind the back seat when ever your chopper was hit or going down or shot the cannon! and you could even play 2 players and against each other in tandem! It was so amazing and it amused everyone we played it for days! I am forever trying to recreate that feeling with sims and none of the sims do it since my Hardware is now outdated for DCS and I cant support it I play EECH! Hence there will always be people who enjoy this SIM especially supporting immersion like this!
I'm not saying you have to do it. I'm saying can we look into how much it would take to add this? and possibly estimate the time required and crowd fund it! At worst it doesn't get funded and you loose nothing in the process.
Your never too old to try something new!
