[Wing] Salmon Arm Fly in (fwd)

[Austin]

Hi Tedd,
                Since you are our RV computer guru, I wanted to ask you
about Microsoft computer flight simulators.
I actually have a couple of them and never play them because I don't get
much fun out of them.
I wonder if it is because a player has no peripheral vision for a game or
whether you need the manual nearby or memorize what keys do what since the
stick only has a limited number of buttons on it and can't respond well.
     Until I got my new computer, the stick would not even respond to
aileron and it just annoyed me to fight a stick which would not act as a
real a/c would.
I even crash when I should not, and this in a lousy Piper Cub !
    Needless to say, combat, or landing on a carrier is a disaster...I can't
see how players get any skill or fun out of these things, but some kids
actually do !
One thing that really pisses me off is I don't seem to be able to set the
trim properly on the stick, which is a Microsoft stick, and must continually
hold back stick to keep any a/c level, or it will nose down...that should
not be....
Any comments ?

 Austin.
