You must be moving "rares" for 800k every half hour? in a cobra? I can't even do 800k in an hour in the Type-6 cargo hauler. Well done finding whatever route that is

Something I must have a play with "Air-Hauler" .. wonder how many joysticks we load, no wonder they are building them lighter.

Yea im picking up a bunch of rares around lave, 40T at a time, shifting them to Zeessze about 140ly away and then picking up a few near there and taking the, back. Too easy! If you want i can summarise exactly what im doing and the route im taking and PM it to you?

Ian, i think i could get away with perhaps some G-Clamps on the throttle base, partner not to happy about Bolts through the desk!!

Sam .. Its were you need a lesson in being creative, you be surprised what gets built here .... ya partner , trust me .. she will love it .. just a little imagination.

Yeah Sam, that would be great. Just when you have time, no hurry. I'm meeting up with my brother in space over the weekend, he's currently in the middle of no where so I'll be heading off into the deep dark, and be a couple of days before I can make it to Lave.
Ian I had a lot of fun with Air Hauler. Haven't installed it in a long while though. Had troubles updating it so uninstalled in a bit of a huff lol.

Been an X52 user since I started - 2009?. Got an aftermarket PS2 cord (throttle to stick) and made some mods to stiffen up the joystick spring. There's an outfit over here ( http://www.rogerdodger.net/diyflightsims.html) with various plans for stick throttle pedals mounts made with PVC pipe. The one I'm using puts the throttle to the left and the stick in my lap - feels right to me.
