Not to mention how close his head is for when the recoil kicks back. He may end up looking like exhibit A... Laughing That's why the stock is in his shoulder. Although there's not a lot of recoil on an AK or AR to begin with. Yeah...no. Maybe if it had a magazine well like an Armalite. Ahh, but the...

I'd trust an AK to fire pretty much no matter how dirty it gets.

I'm not so sure I'd trust it to function while using the mag as a grip.

I was thinking about this a bit further. It would probably be fairly simple to make a Cougar throttle <-> game port adapter... though I don't know if you'd get all the functions out of it. You could then plug that into a game port <-> USB adapter. I don't think a standard old school joystick port wo...

Well then I guess I've got a Thrustmaster paperweight! Someone could make an adapter to put it out there as a controller. I'm just saying I'd be truly shocked if anyone already has. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably make one myself, but (and I say this having made native USB code before) the le...

I'm wondering, though if it is possible to get a DB9 to USB adapter and use the Cougar throttle independent of the the Cougar joystick? Absolutely not. First, it's a DB15, not a DB9. Second, it's not a serial device, so a "USB - serial" adapter won't work. Unless someone has already made one specif...

That's like saying Hitler didn't work and play well with others.

That so needs a sweeping red LED array.

That reminds me of trying to fly the "crosswind landing in the SU-25T" mission.

Finally we can reduce our consumption of digital fuel!

Thanks, Blaze!

6000 hours...he could've built himself a very nice airplane he could actually fly in for that kind of investment.

Probably cheaper, too.

Saw it when I posted and didn't have the time in photoshop to fix it.

Yup, that's sensor (AA filter) dust, not lens dust.

Looks like you were shooting ~ f11 I'd say.

T1? That's only 1.5mbit...that would, at best, show ~ 1500/1500. Most get way better down than that. Some have a way better up as well.

Once a Thunderbird, Always a Thunderbird... 8) Just so everyone knows what we're talking about here (off topic), it's the video by Dean "Wilbur" Wright, Patriot No. 1 from back when he was the Lead Solo for the Thunderbirds during the 2000 season. Clearly Wilbur's not the only one. This is from 200...
