The dumbest peripheral EVER...

Ok I've seen some *really* stupid peripherals come to market in my 20 years of flight simming. The Aura "interactor" comes to mind (a backpack with a subwoofer in it), followed by the nearly equally stupid bass kicker chair. Seen some really stupid joysticks too, but THIS piece of junk takes the absolute cake. The only person who'd ever buy such a thing is the sort of 'wingviewer' who sits at their PC with a captain's hat on and refers to their wife/girlfriend as "stewardess".... once.



The price? $1200 USD!

Here are some other flight related things $1200 will get you:

1. An intel QX9650 Penryn 45nm processor, and blistering FPS.
2. A whole ton of quality FSX aircraft and scenery addons.
3. About oh... NINE *real* flying lessons.

Even Airbus (aka boring airplane makers), and just about every general aviation aircraft manufacturer thinks yokes are stupid! Are you listening boeing? For the record the goddamned STICK (not yoke) goes on the right, the throttle on the left, the engines in the fuselage, and the missiles on the wings.

Yeah I know, it's *just* a controller and I'm an opinionated bastard. :)

Lotus out.

Group photo!

I've been wanting to get around to this for a while now but FS-Recorder was giving me grief over it. No longer, beta6 fixed it. I proudly present the members of the Lotus Films actors guild. :)

100,000!!!!

I can hardly believe it. When I started the month long project that was to become "Vectors" I thought it might do well, but I never imagined it would hit 100,000 views.

It is so very Stella Artois time. ;)

My thanks go to everyone who gave their free time and effort to the movie and to everyone who watched and left a nice comment, not to mention Aces and the addon makers like Iris and Alphasim who gave us the fine simulator and aircraft needed to pull it off.

Cheers all!

Unity: Remixed

"Unity", being a commercial video, used licensed music of course. However, had I been able to choose from *anything* in my library to accompany it?... ;)

The video is rather large (17 mb) so it may take a moment to buffer. Enjoy!
