I come from a long pedigree of combat pilots (bombers and fighters). My Grandfather, Great Uncle, Father and step Father (WWII, Korea and Vietnam).

I fly sims for the vicarious experiences and love of aviation. I do it for fun...that's all. I've had a Cougar and a right-handed Fighterstick (to name a few) and did just fine (relatively speaking). But the fun-factor rose exponentially when I got custom controllers that fit me instead of me fitting them.

Sorry for the shot over the bow mazex.
No problem, we all get a little jumpy when it's approaching 3 month's since we last heard from Oleg. A few lines and some shots of the usual 3D models with blue background that could come from any game and we all get back to normal

Are there many left-handed people out there ?
Just for interest.

Here's a handy statistic for joy-stick manufacturers to think about -

"In 2006, researchers at Lafayette College and Johns Hopkins University in a study found that left-handed men are 15 percent richer than right-handed men for those who attended college, and 26 percent richer if they graduated."
