Review & Description

An authentic design inspired by military and commercial planes and helicopters provides a flying experience that's more realistic and more fun, with important controls that look, feel and work like the real thing. The force feedback joystick allows you to control your aircfraft with confidence as you feel its movement as well as its reaction to air turbulence and g-forces. The dual throttle allows you to precisely control multi-engine aircraft using the split lever. Rudder pedals with toe brakes give you true-to-life control, especially when rudder control is essential such as performing definsive maneuvers and crosswind landings, or piloting helicopters. Interactive, programmable throttle-base buttons integrate with simulation software and illuminate red, green, amber or off to indicate the status of critical aircraft systems, just like they would a real cockpit.

QA
* THIS LISTING DOES NOT INCLUDE GAME COUNSOLE, GAME TITLE, RACING WHEEL OR PEDALS.
* Support any Wheel/Steering Control where the mounting clamp can attach to a flat solid surface.
* Works with all Logitech wheels. Note: Logitech G25 Wheel requires also a Shifter Side Tray (sold separately).
* "Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless steering wheel" requires a mounting adapter (sold separately) as it does not fix to a flat surface.
* No Pedal Mounting accessory comes with this unit. The PEDAL-SET manufacturers often design them to optimally-perform while placed on the floor, and they all have great Carpet- Gripper-System, thus negating the need for a Pedal Mount.

Amazon.com Calling / ICT

I just received the latest parcel from amazon.com. The SingPost Speedpost guy carried the small box inside this huge USPS bag. I asked could I have it? He said sure! So cool... I like postmen stuff... ;)
Rod Machado's beginner's pilot bible was so thick and heavy. If I could name a few teachers who inspire me, Rod would certainly be one. (Another would be physicist Dick Feynman). These two folks are funny guys and they just love learning and evangelising their subject matter. Rod, whose flight lessons are found in many editions of Microsoft Flight Sim, explains the most complex concepts in ways that make people want to learn. Here's an interesting video from him. The other book i got was MS Flight Sim As A Training Aid. I felt it's time to get a little more serious with my computer flying.

The second book is essentially an ICT book, how to make the best use of a computer 'game' to do realistic flight training. When I'm not flying, my other hobby also involves doing ICT for long periods of time each day. (ICT generally refers to using technology to help folks learn better.) But recently, halfway into my internship doing 'reading, 'righting and 'rithmatic ICT, I actually dumped PowerPoint, and reverted to drawing words on the white board. (Technically, PowerPoint isn't necessarily ICT, but still...) Bill Gates phoned me the other day and asked me how come I wasn't using Microsoft PowerPoint anymore, and I told him, 'I'm not sure, I believe I got bored. My kids all walked out of their classroom.' OK, I made up the last part.

Anyway, Heavenly Sword has an article on just this issue. I've seen ICT work wonders when the stars align, it just blows my mind. I've also seen it not work, like in my own practice; not all the time, but sometimes. The problem is two-fold (well, maybe more than two), the lack of resources for every learner, and the pedagogy that the ICT designer employs into the learning package. If the killer app isn't present, then it doesn't make sense to do the ICT in the first place.

I bought Microsoft FSX many months after it was released. Yesterday, the new Service Pack was released, improving performance greatly. I'm not sure it's legal to do this flightplan over New York. Maybe Rod has something to say about that...

Eye Candy: Hercules C-130

10 years ago, I boarded a C-130 for Taiwan to work for a local defence contractor. The experience beats any trip on economy, business, or first class. These screenshots are from CaptainSim.

Repainting Aircraft

Phew! I'd finally finished repainting this airplane. This is like the digital version of the traditional 'airfix' where one uses spraypaint or paintbrush to do the plane's liveries. Nowadays, it's Photoshop! (Or, in my case, Fireworks!). Get this plane from Aeroworx.
