samoosa simulator lol ???

.... Or come and fly in the back seat. Good free experience.

wow you reckon there's oke's that will give free flips in the back seat? that would be very cool... i'm even willing to pay for the petrol hey...

[Tribal Croc]

Loads of people that will give you free flips just ask them

[D2O]

anthonyhugo, just take the money that you want to spent on building a nice simulator and use it for training...believe me; you will enjoy it more!!!

Rather use a joystick for now...

lol doing both now, going for lessons tomorrow and saturday morning with marius (if the permit it)

also installed FSX + the south african add-ons with the help of D2O (many thanks!!! ) and it's awesome! i just inverted the X and Y axis now my mouse acts exactly like the "bar" on a trike

cheers

Of course nothing beats real flying, but this helps on those bad weather days

So I decided to do the bar control thingy. Actually didn't take too long, and feels a bit more realistic. Worth the effort!

legendary once again!!! what did you use for the stands?

[D2O]

I used my speaker stands with a thick piece of PVC tube going across.
I used dowels for the bar.
Having throttle issues though, as the keyboard throttle is not too good, and the throttle I normally used is on the joystick!

The pedals are expensive, so that'll have to wait.

I might have to put bungee cord on the sides as well, as the left / right controls are a bit iffy.

Only one question: Is the DUCK-tape CAA approved

[Jean Crous]

If memory serves me correctly, i once saw a very nice trike simulator at Comet aviation. Why not phone them and get some info as to where they bought it ?
