Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 3:44 pmPosted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 3:52 pmForgetting , full motion how much tilt in from the horizon to each side and back and forth ?
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:00 pmthe max force is +/- 1G. The max range is 0 - 20 % in any direction and 20 cm lift. The motion platform is VERY fast - in the simulator coupled with the projected horizon it can fool the brain to feel even 90% angle of bank and it can even generate slight sensation of inverted flight (not complete of course :-)
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:12 pmFurther realistic cockpits for the future , or keep it way it is at the moment?
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 4:57 pmWow looks fantastic...I spot the Lotus L-39...hmmm now how do I get down to Nelson?
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:39 pmVery nice, hard to do it justice with a static camera huh, looks great.
What's with the rearward facing TrackIR looking widget on the headset?

Keep it as it is. the 3D does very good job and I like the versatility. the only addon soon will be couple of touch screens

Track IR looking thing is TrackIR :-) - I use it for aerobatics (look behind and above) otherwise you can use it to move the cam through the cockpit - for casual flying it is not really necessary (makes it more real = harder).

it's close proximity 3D rear projection - 6 projectors 3x2 (patent pending technology) the camera was handheld with fish eye lens

Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:51 pmVERY COOL! 
One little niggle to increase realism. The Bell 412 cockpit in the first image has the red badge covering one of the images. Clicking on it will remove the red badge and allow the gauge in it's place to be used. (Assuming that you have a system behind the scenes to access VCs with the mouse if need be.) It's just meant for copy protection purposes upon initial loading of the addon.
Just out of curiosity, what's the plane directly after the L-39 images? I'm guessing it's Tim Conrad's Zlin Z-50 based on the temperature gauge arrangement, but I'm not 100% on that.
