[simpits-tech] intercom

[Fred Mahone]

This intercom was designed by someone else and I am just adding bells and 
whistles.

It does have connections to the computer both in and out. I guess the in is 
for simming over the Internet with friends. In its original configuration, 
it uses standard computer headsets. My job, should I decide to accept it, 
is to make it compatible with civilian and
military impedances. Of course, unless you have stereo headset conversion 
of you headset, you will not get the spatial effect (gee,
I LIKE those fancy words!). This could be synthesized, but I do not have 
that much smarts. Besides, my helicopter headset reduces
noise by 24db which cuts almost everything out but transmission gear whine 
and rotor beat on a steep curve and in hover.

How much is the stereo effect needed? When I have flown it seems like the 
seat of the pants feeling of flaps movement, landing
gear and such is felt more that heard.
