    To answer to the request of many simmers , the Tarmac Aces team conceived and carried out a grip dedicated to acrobatic flight and gliders.
    Go and have a look in the “hangar stock” of our webpage !

    Many thanks to simmers who helped us , we will be able to carry out soon these projects :

    -middle of august 2008 : Parallelogram rudder pedals assembly including nterchangeable pedals
    (Luftwaffe, RAF, contemporary Jets…).

    -middle of septembre 2008 : shifted universal base and Spade Grip (Spitfire).

    -middle of septembre 2008 : yoke for civilian or military multi engines.

    -decembre 2008 : gas throttle for contemporary Jets (single engine and twin engine).

    Good flight !

    Hi pilots !
    Some good news from the Tarmac Aces Team :

    Our rudder replica is fully operationnal ! You can see it in action on a new column “accessories in action” on our website .

    Our R&D work on a shifted axis base is nearly achieved . This base will be able to be equipped with replica sticks of Spitfire , Hurricane or Mosquito , and of course with replicas of multi-engines “horn stick” .

    We need some good pictures of Spitfire and Hurricane grips. So, if you have one on your hard drive , it would be nice to show it here .

    Good flight !

    Hello, Frankvw

    I understand and I respect your task of moderator, but I think that some additional information is currently useful.

    Under the name of Tarmac Aces , we are three simmers, impassioned by the second world war. Until now, only impassioned of F16 could practise to them hobby with a replica of existing handle.
    Impassioned of warbirds had any handle with central position, nor no replica of handle.

    In 2005, “Roll’ N Loop” (of squad PBO) launched a subject on the forum “CheckSix!” , intended to fill this gap.
    We worked on this project in close cooperation with the simmers attending the forum “CheckSix!” . The result of our work (voluntary: we did not touch one cent for the hundreds of hours of research and development devoted to this project) was tested during the three days of the meetings of the simulation of Le Bourget per a number of simmers.

    “By simmers , for simmers” , it’s real.

    We are based on a small company which trusted us and supports the heavy investments necessary to the manufacture of this “Community realization”.
    We would like to be able to make it test everywhere in the world, since all those which had it in hand were convinced and allured.
    Unfortunately,we don’t have these financial means. We are not CHProducts, Thrustmasters or Saitek.

    And as this project is a project of simmers, it appears normal to me to inform the simmers of this project while passing by the forums.
    I know that one or two webmasters thought that it acted of Spam. I was even banished of a forum. All the others took time to read me and understand that our step is really particular.

    Good flight ! 🙂

    We can talk about flight simulation hardware , if you want .
    And who designs this hardware .
    Are they simmers ? Pilots ?
    Are they here , listening to your demands ? 🙂
