[simpits-tech] F-16 Gauges are Here!!!

[Brian Sikkema]

I am SO glad I switched to the Merc :) So much less to simulate, and almost 
everything is going to be handbuilt (=cheaper). I know if I were still in an 
F-16 I would demand the highest quality, therefore dooming myself to the 
poorfarm. Plus with any luck on the Merc I'll have a whole team of minions 
working on it, and it will be fully funded with grants, not to mention 
expert oppinions from the likes of the remaining Mercury 7 astronauts, 
plus... (drifts off into daydream land). Well, at any rate at least a few 
minions and some funding. Only downside is it wont actually be MY sim, 
although you better believe I'm going to document EVERYTHING while building 
it, so if I get some time and money it would be pretty easy to make a copy 
for myself :)

No doubt, Marv.

I'm already getting acquainted with demand curve economics with my EMYCSA 
rudder pedals (arriving in September - the first production set too!).  
Given your cost and time, plus DTS' markup, the price isn't actually insane. 
  And considering how willing I've been to squeeze the budget recently, I 
can't complain.  I just don't think I'm going to go into guage/MFD land, 
though.  I'll leave that to the *real* die hards.  You know who you are.

$5 is not obscene for authentic knobs either - although that puts the cost 
of a full set between what, $150 and $200?  Not too bad - just wish that was 
the first thing you went after versus the guages.  But that IS just me me me 
me talking.  I wish you luck with the guages, though - they do look 
**sweeeet.**

I'll be watchin' and waitin......;-)
