[simpits-tech] Accuracy or not, that is the question.... ;)

Mon, 29 Jul 2002 09:03:11 +0700

Marv,

Thanks for your understanding.  We experience the same with our military
cockpits.  A bit there, a bit here and restart again, because you did not
anticipate that this fits with that.  The Viper I is an ongoing effort and
new things from the professional cockpits are constantly flowing into
production of the simmer version. Oh, by the way, our site is up.

Take care

Jurgen
