So nothing on our hardware side is hard, resource intensive, or even special in the Windows world. Just remember – we are USB peripheral inputs into Windows, that's it.
Q: Can you recommend a PC / computer setup or specification that I should use?Ī: This has all to do with the simulator software side of things (usually Condor), and anything else you may plan to do with your PC such as general aviation simulation or car racing or just general gaming type stuff. We'll work up some prototypes soon and get some pics up here and on social media. Q: Are you guys developing any custom mounting brackets so the cockpit could be modified to do fighter jet or warbird sims?Ī: Yes! We are indeed working on some mounts so that users can slap on 3rd party hardware (the nice thing with 80/20 aluminum!) and enjoy their favorite fighter jet or warbird sims. Not only good for teaching, but good for the instructors to practice this on the ground!
