[simpits-tech] Falcon 4 Engine Start Fault Help !

Fri, 1 Aug 2003 07:08:39 -0700

No I do not. I use a Suncom Hotas combo (OLD !!). I put a note at Frugal's
and the replies have been unbelivable. I am going to try them out today.
I have enclosed a link to the forum for your reference. Stuff I had never
herd off. Is it impressive when you think of all those people out the able
and willing to help out when a question comes up. I have a muliplayer session
today so I will keep you posted. Thanks for your help !

PS do you have any experince in online play with Falcon ? I have only been
doing multiplay with in a local network and I feel I am ready to step into
the next phase (that being online play)
