Dang Anna! Nice setup!

You must tell me abou this EvenStrain modification...because if it fixes the HOTAS Cougar's inability to maintain center axis, I am VERY interested. I have a Saitek X52 at home and it flies like a champ, but the Navy isn't interested in it because it doesn't FEEL like a real flight stick. We were looking at the FSSB R2 Force sensor modification but because it comes from spain and they can't run our govt credit card without going through paypal, which we're not authorized to use, we can't order any.

That 30" monitor is stunning. I cant wait till I get my Cintiq though! I'd like to talk to ya off-site about your flight sim interests sometime...but in the meantime, I'd like to invite you to try x-plane if you haven't already. In my opinion its THE most superior commercial hobbyist level flight sim in the industry...and at a mere 40 bucks for the entire United States (or your region) and 60 bucks for the ENTIRE WORLD to fly in, and given the fact that it uses real physics instead of data-tables a-la microsoft flight sim, I'd say its pretty impressive. I also like the fact that its 100% open content. You can make a working airplane of your own design in under 1 hour if you know what you're doing. http://www.x-plane.com (official) and http://www.x-plane.org (community)
