 I forgot one thing : It's completely plug-and-play with any OS :Windows 2000, Me, XP, Vista, MacOSX : no driver is needed. We will soon release a video to show the travel of the stick : it's really a different kind of controlling .  good fly ! |

Video is good but what about the real thing???

 Sorry Trollbug but I ordered your joystick together with the throttle and this was 3 months ago. Nothing since except a mail indicating that they were finishing the paintjob and that I should receive everything in 10 days max. This was a month ago. Perhaps your group makes high-end joysticks but communication is not very strong. Tarmac's contact e-mail never answers and you didn't answer the private message I sent you asking for help.... I hope that the quality of the product is better than that because this is a LOT OF MONEY I invested here...  Eckhart |

We learnt 15 days ago that they forgot our order ! :-[[ My last visit here was 3 weeks ago , that's why I didn't answered your MP , sorry ... |

now I can stop taking tranquilizers
Thx for your fast answer Trollbug.
A Rolls-Royce isn't build in a day and this should be the Rolls-Royce of the Joysticks  . As long as the quality is what it promises to be I am happy with the time needed to produce it. I know that you guys are busy but a little e-mail informing about the manufacturing progress and its possible delays would have reassured me Once I will have received everything, I plan to continue my thread about "the stuff dreams are made off" in order to let everybody know how this can change your flight experience  If this works out, I hope that perhaps one day I will be able to save enough money to buy the great rudder you guys just put on the market (and replace my old Simped which did an excellent job so far). I am looking forward to your advice on how to set up this configuration... Thx again, Cheers, Eckhart |

Wow...Thanks for the up-date Oleg!
1) Will the details of the "AAA" system be extended to the whole "map-world"? For example: If a power station or power-lines (cables) are damaged will buildings loose power (lights in the dark/night) and effect defense systems (like phones)??? 2) I would love to see some London "urban/city" screen caps...

Very nice detail...I wonder what they would look like after being strafed, individual bullet impact sites in the timbers?...

I see really high attention to detail in the way the AAA systems are modeled.
We will be able to man some of those guns and looks like all the needed systems are modeled. My question is: Are we going to be able to use the whole ranging/aiming system while we man the guns, for those guns that had it, or the gunsight will be simply fixed with the barell? I'd love to be able to adjust the gunsight depending on the speed and altitude of the target. Many AAA systems had this devices. Not close to the acuracy/speed of modern complex systems that work almost instantly, but sure helped. I see the ranging system right in those new updates screens.  Many AAA systems had this devices.

Here are some of the German Heavy AAA aiming/ range finding systems in use during WW2:
 the EM 4 m R (H) 34 or 36, the Entfernungsmesser 4 m Raumbild (Hochenmesser) 34 or 36, a standard 4 m-class rangefinder of heavy antiaircraft batteries. It (as well as a newer, slightly different Em 4m R 40) could be used as a free standing on a tripod base, as seen here - in co-operation with the Kdo.Hi.Ger. 35, or coupled directly with the Kdo.Ger. 36 or Kdo.Ger. 40. The Em 4 m R (H) 34 or 36 were manned by 4 men (3 aimers and a commander) and could measure ranges from 620 m (670 m in case of the model 34) to 50 000 m, as well as target's altitude.  Kdo.Hi.Ger. 35 or Kommando Hilfsgeraet 35, an antiaircraft artillery command device used as the secondary unit of a heavy antiaircraft battery (cal. 8,8 cm upwards), the primary unit being either the Kdo.Ger. 36 or the Kdo.Ger. 40, both of them, as opposed to this one, were more complex, coupled with a 4 m-class rangefinder and offered electric wire transmission of calculated elevation, traverse and fuse setting to the guns. Range was given to the Kdo.Hi.Ger. 35 verbally from a free standing 4 m rangefinder, while target's traverse and elevation were observed with two optical sights visible on both sides of the device. Calculated values were given to the guns verbally via a phone line. The Kdo.Hi.Ger. 35 together with an accompanying rangefinder were manned by 14 men, 9 of them operating the command device alone. I'd love to be able to put all those poor men at work.

I think the 40mm/L60 was phased out a very short time after I quit in 1990, but the slightly more advanced Bofors 40mm/L70 lingered one for another 10 years or so. I remember once on an exersize we got message over radio "the area is now clear of enemy planes!" and as the last word was spoken 4 'enemy' Vought A-7 Corsairs flew so low over our cannon that we allmost had to duck. So much for Norwegian air defence radars... Skarphol |
