Samson Motorworks Switchblade

Posted on June 3, 2009 by Robin

Here’s a great new design for a flying tricycle. The wings switch out from underneath it, and aside from being feature laden, it’s also supposed to be ‘green’.

They’re expecting it to go in 2010. Let’s hope this becomes a reality!

Logitech’s Force Feedback Flight System

Posted on June 3, 2009 by Robin

It’s been a long long while since anything new has come out for military flight sim enthusiasts, and this looks like it is just what the doctor ordered. Since Vista dropped support for the gameport – and thus for my F-15 inspired Suncom set up (no longer for sale, but definitely the best stick / throttle setup I’ve ever seen!) there’s been not much, excepting the odd Thrustmaster setup.

Allthough not based on a reall stick, the setup looks solid. It’s fully programmable, has about the right amount of buttons and offers force feedback as well as toe brakes on the rudders.
