Does anyone have anyadvise as to the type of controls (joystick, etc) that works best, and areyou guys using rudder pedals?Robert Hensarlinghttp://www.mesquite-furniture.comrhrocker(at)admin.hilconet.comUvalde, Texas> I want to thank whomever that was that made the Pietenpol for FlightSim 98available! And extreme thanks to whoever wrote that bit of beauty! What ahoot! It's slow but stable and really reminds me of a Piet. I've alwayswanted to simulate the Piet and even purchased Flight Shop some time back,but never developed the skill to do it well (to busy working on presentPiets?).> Anyway, THANKS!!!

Robert, Consider going to one of the PC stores and trying them. I like theMicrosoft one that has force feedback. You get stick shake in stalls andresistance in climbs and turns.Warrenrobert hensarling wrote:> -----Original Message-----

I downloaded the Piet MS Sim file and hope to install it this week. If you wantrealistic controls and flying on those "too cold" or "too wet" days. Look at theequipment on this link. It is really good.http://www.controlvision.com/frame.cfm? ... htmGYSayre, William G wrote:> I want to thank whomever that was that made the Pietenpol for FlightSim98 available!

All,I'm a bit upset about this one.IMHO, the MS FFB stick is nice for shoot-em-ups, but does not work with existingrudder pedals.Forget it as I did mine (Christmas present turned boat anchor!).Not even my favorite (and rudder happy) MS Combat Flight Simulator will allowexisting pedals with the FFB stick. Also, MS does not make any, not to mentionFFB compatible rudder pedals. No joy at all kids!I can't slip by twisting the stick as I do by banging rudders without learningsome *really* weird habits and I refuse to play after hours with anauto-coordinated simulator.Sorry, but I fly real airplanes, not pinball machines......LarryWarren Shoun wrote:> Robert,> Consider going to one of the PC stores and trying them.
