<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Simkits has a force feedback chair unit! They have
a lot of neat stuff on there. I don't know how anyone could afford to buy any of
it, but it's nice all the same.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm gonna forget about the plotter. No doubt it
will just be one more thing I paid 100.00 for and will have to pay again to
throw in the landfill in a few years. There is a Surveyor renting a space
in my building and he has one that will print frigging wallpaper. I think it's
even a Laser and about 60"! I can probably get a lot of plots with "if I don't
raise your rent" sort of lines .</FONT></DIV>

<P>Nnooby here with a comment and a queston. . . .</P>
<P>The old carousel type pen plotter. I was given one when it quit working., 5
years ago. <BR><BR>The problem(s) is/are service and maintenance; pens &
inks, parts, knowledge-able people and drivers. I've not found any one in my
area willing to admit to knowing how to get it going. (Sacramento Calif.
). I think the problem with mine is the hard disk. Only reason for that
is it was working fine until it quit. Computer could not seem to talk to the
plotter. Boss bought a new HP inkjet plotter. Way better. Way better. The old
one was much more fun to watch tho. <BR><BR>If it were me I would watch eBay
and such for a used inkjet or equivalent. </P>
<P>AutoCAD! I’m using Rel-14. Loads in ,.5seconds flat. 3d capable - rendering
is primitive but adequate for me uses - 3D aircraft. . . Tedious but I find
numerical precision easier than in Blender or AC3D. But I’m trying them also.
<BR><BR>My reason for being here is to pick up what I can about the
design/const of cockpit sims. Of particular interest - force feed back on
controllers. Are there archives I can search? Point me for further reading. .
. </P>
<P>Thanks </P>
