Hi Guys,
Some of you might be interested in tis kickstarter project. Seems as though it may be
a much cheaper way to go for those on a tighter budget. Obviously for the more
serious simmer

If you want affordable force feedback, why not just gut a sidewinder?

You Could do and Roland on this site has done such. But quite a bit of work is required.
With this unit forces change with air speed ect just like a real plane.
This one is much more affordable than what is available. A person not capable of much
diy may find this price acceptable.

Yes looks like they made it. I already have a FFB yoke , and its brilliant. Just leaves the
standard yoke for dead. Lot dearer than this one so are keen to compare. Ive already
tried Flight Illusions one and don't like it.

Yeah, I haven't heard anything good about the FI yoke. I wish that there was enough room for one of those in my cockpit. Someone needs to come up with a FFB floor yoke.

Read the kickstarter page : they will be offering just the FF unit so you can implement it in your own solution.

I have opted for the Hardware kit as that's all I need. 400 CAD excluding shipping seems like a sweet deal :-)
