I have seen those flight sticks alreadty but not the keyboard.

Anyway here is my brief review of it (based on appearance only):

Its got wicked blue glowing lights

I have seen similar flight sticks, but not the one shown here.  This is a bit more advanced and has more bells and whistles than the one currently available.

[SaVas]

I have the X-45 by them now and love it, but I like getting new bells and whistles

Kind of like trading in a car every two years, though without the monthly payments heh heh

[Gixer]

Go on Savas you know you want too

[Scottler]

I've also got the X-45, and really can't imagine what stick would make me want to get rid of it.  lol  I'm still on the fence about the new one.

Pretty nice! Why don't they make one with Force Feedback? or do they and I didn't notcice?

This also makes me wonder is it possible to have two keyboards connected to a computer at once? I sort of like my wireless stuff and the though of switching back and forth isn't practical. I don't have any conflicts with my wireless mouse and Graphire 2 pen tablet, but never though about multiple keyboards.

PIC,

I have a usb keyboard located in the simpit and ALSO a regular wired keyboard located at the computer desk.  Both work at the same time just fine.

Thanks I figured there would be no problem with it, i like the wireless setup but notice that at times there can be a slight "delay" from the time I push a button to the time a action takes place, it is ever so slight but it is there.

OK so I went to Best Buy and bought the Saitek keyboard. Pretty cool looking. Goes well with my XPS

But I also found something else I want...

Plus its on sale and is PC compatible. I wonder how FS9 would look on it ?

Anyone have a set up with something like this that would care to let me know how it looks?

Lokking at it the max res isn't too good:

Horizontal Resolution 1024 x 768

If that means max res?

I would rather go for a 20.1" or 21" TFT which supports up to 1600x1200.  That would be my preference though.  I have played games on PC through a normal TV and you loose some crispness.  I cannot afford a TFT that does 1600x1200 at the moment hence I brought a really good 19" CRT.  The IQ on it is superb but its a bit big  :(  Much prefer the looks of TFT's

[SaVas]

hmmm didnt think about that.

back to the drawing board
