I'm just waiting to hear it will be released on consoles, I can see it now, "double tap trigger to perform barrel roll" and "hold back on stick while pressing X to do a loop".

I'll be interested to see your HOTAS mounting system Teej. I was thinking about this route at one stage but I couldn't work out a simple but effective mounting system.

Hey Holiday, very tidy setup you're building there, it would be a dream to have a pit like that. How is it getting in and out of? But aren't you worried that those empty spaces near the HOTAS might start slowly filling in? :wink:

That's a crying shame they can't make it, was looking forward to seeing the big 4 (VTB, VBA, Berkuts and Patriots). Hopefully they will bring something special next year.

Jeezus, after doing a 14 hr shift I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that times more than thing, I'll take your word for it. There is a lot of ambiguity in the English language that can only be solved by situational factors. If it was a car you would have sent it to the heap years ago, so un...

Great review, if I had a spare chunk of change lying around and my wife wasn't looking I'd probably order one of these. You do, and she isn't... just do it! :wink: Haha, don't do that to me, you are the devil on my shoulder. Anyway I already bought the G940 a while ago, which makes this even more t...

Affect vs. effect

affect: is the cause of something.

effect is the result of something else.

No dictionary terms, just my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong.


Btw: I should get a free pass for my grammar faupars because I use an iPod touch, those damn keys are so close together.

The failure was in the bearing for the IPT, intermediate pressure turbine, caused by a oil leak. They made an announcement today about the phased reintroduction of the A380 into service with us. The 747 failure was an engine surge. It was a RR engine. Engine surges happen from time to time, they lo...

Dimebag, when I am not hanging about here I am flying for Qantas as an A330 captain. If you think Qantas are the only airline in the world having incidents, then check out avherald.com RR owns and maintains those engines. Qantas leases them. It is a RR problem. Hi Cobra, nice to meet a fellow Aussi...
