Great! now we have both protagonists on this thread! I think it is important for us to get all the facts.
First of all, a triple huzzah for you guys making us dream with these great achievements! Man we would all luv to fly in one of your cockpits... that's the stuff dreams are made of!!!!   And Oleg don't forget about this !: You made a flightsim which was at one point the benchmark for computer performance! Keep your new work open for this kind of possibility. Who knows? In a few years, we might be able to have this kind of stuff on a more widespread base.....  Listen some years ago a few megabytes was the ultimate dream for computers and now...So back to our thread: Mister Schmid: all my admiration goes to your work and i would like you to expose more of the details regarding your projects! Can you give us more details about your fighterstick? How does it compare in your opinion to the Tarmac model? What about this absolutely stunning cockpit? Is there a motion platform included? What kind of videoprojector do you use? Do you think that this setting would be appropriate with Il2? And the painful question, what would be the price range for this cockpit? Trollbug: I am sorry if I made you walk on thin ice but I can feel how passionate you are about your project... Are those future projects modular, I mean do they apply to the already existing universal base? It would be a pity to shell out a lot of money just to learn that there is some new better stuff in a few months which is not compatible with your equipment. To finish: PEOPLE OF THE IL2 DREAMLAND! A triple huzzah to these fine people who are making the stuff our dreams are made of... HIP HIP... HIP HIP... HIP HIP... Cheers, Eckhart

You would be surprised to see where active WWII aviation parts can be found today ...
One of the Tarmac Aces Team members , Laurent , is a retired Jaguar pilot of the French Air Force . He is also one of the founders and active members of a non-profit organization which goal is to restore and make fly a MD312 "Flamant" , the first plane carried out by Marcel Dassault Industries (under this name , of course) . (this plane use Argus engines , as the FW189) This plane fly since last year ... ) (the starting of the V12 engines is very impressive ! )Non-profit-organizations which restore planes have generally very good connections each others . Another one is restoring a 1920's french plane (a Morane ) , and , as they could not find original rudder pedals for this plane , they fit FW190 pedals on their rudder (I don't know where they found the pedals , but they're original).... That's it ! @Eckhart : Of course , this module will fit on the existing Universal base !  Trollbug

I am interested in the development of an affordable full length stick.
I admire the dedication and passion of C6 Trollbugs sticks (and this is reflected in the undoubted quality of his product) . At the same time I think Mr Shmid has a great looking stick, and I am excited that there are options availible. For me the moddified x52 will have to suffice for a long time yet, but I would happily spend the same amount for again for something that looks and feels a wee bit like something from the 40's. For heavens sake there is cheap labour in China! Why cant we get something affordable???

Was hoping someone who had tried Schmids stick would show up! does your stick have the hall sensors or the pots in the base? did you get it from Simware?
