Thanks, appreciate the detailed reply! Will go that route.

Excellent, you won’t be sorry. Tornado and Megafortress are fucking magnificent.

I remember cursing my old man for not upgrading the family PC because slewing the TIALD in Tornado was sluggish as fuck. Then I found out I needed to clean the gunk off the mouses’ rollers. Yeah.

Tornado was/is fucking brilliant. I agree.

Totally, it was my favorite jet sim until EF2000 came along.

Can’t get it out of my head, so I share it with you. You’re welcome.

I’ll see your awesome ancient soundtrack and raise you Meteor’s work for the Heatblur DCS Tomcat:

OMG I so need to go watch Iron Eagle right now.

So you guys, I almost survived a mission in Tornado today! I’m getting better! ;)

One of my favorite memories of Tornado was laying waste to an entire enemy runway.

Yes, so delightful. The graphics are still so evocative.

You guys. You guys, lookit what I got.

Only $60 used. I’m so happy. I’ve been wanting one of these for YEARS.

So Sidewinder to CH… You’re following my upgrade cycle from 1997. :)

I actually am still using CH Pro Pedals on my second PC. I don’t get the people who drop $400 on rudder pedals. My other set is the cheap Thrustmaster T.16000 bundle pedals.

I too have the CH Pro Pedals. Love them.

Oh and I’m still using the Sidewinder as my stick. Never replacing that.

Gameport or USB?

I like pivot over slide, or I would have bought one of those throttles instead of a Saitek setup. I had a CH Flightstick for a long time, it worked perfectly and was built like a tank.

USB. C’mon. ;)

This actually replaces a Saitek X52-Pro throttle. I love that throttle but I’m SUPER excited about this one.

No reason not to have all the throttles.

I didn’t go all the way to 400, paid 250 for used MFG’s. Consider them totally worth it as I finesse a Tomcat’s nose around a high alpha manoeuvre allowing me to brrrrt a MiG into a slowly divergent formation of burning aircraft scrap.

Not flight sim, but, um whoa. If whoever repackaged this actually made it work, whoa. Holy grail stuff here.

Wow! Boy did I put a lot of time into that game back in the day.

It didn’t work for me at first, but once I turned off G-SYNC it worked!
