Hi !
I'm pleased to discover this forum , and this handful of good news

I'm a member of the Tarmac Aces team .
We know that we made an expensive control stick.
But it can't be compared to anyone .

It's a central position control strick of 50 cm at the head of the handle.
It's sensors are 60 times more precise than the better potentiometer (without amplification ! )
It's mechanic is ball-bearing mounted , and assembled with the tenth of millimetre .
It's travel is historical .
It's force management system (mechanical) is a revolution : no return to centre , and it gives the feeling to operate all the linkage to the control surfaces . Light on slow operations, it hardens when you make fast operations.
And it's handle is the exact replica of a real handle . (the KG13 equipped most of the WWII german fighters ) More replicas of historic handles will be soon carried out .

We're working with french simmers on a new type of force feedback which will take into account the effect of the trim, so I expect SOW will support FFB ....
