Now if you give me that type of cockpit interface at lets say 3/4 or 1/2 scale I am in for the "touchable" cockpits. In fact let say the unit price for SOW is going to be $39.99 each....put me down for $125.OO each and I have my CC ready! I will get the TT's to go with it no problem.

Having logged and enjoyed tons of hours in FS2004, I can say that I am through with procedural trainers due to the fact that I just do not have the time. Now the FSX folks love their vintage aircraft there is a huge industry based around WWII aircraft and they pay up to $40 for a single addon aircraft!

Now back to our reality, are you guys really going to wait for the oil temperature to come up to operating limits before taking off. How about shock cooling and cracking your cylinder heads because you didn't plan your descent out of altitude properly. Complex engine management in reciprocating aircraft engines was and is a PITA until the recent advent of FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Controls).

I think there will be a nice middle ground for all to enjoy. I would rather have correct munition load outs and weapons configuration and release controls as per the real aircraft.

But that touch screen business really put the hook in me....I want that!!!!
