Revelation Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Wags, ED really needs to do some type of advertising here. Out of the 100 people I have met only 2 were aware DCS even exists. So far they were all interested so hopefully some new DCS aviators come out of it.

Revelation Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Got to say Hi to Matt! I was really surprised by how good this guy felt in the hands. I was pretty much against purchasing the Hornet grip at the price of $229 until I had it in my hand. Plenty of people crashed and burned today. No Viper on display and the Hornets were getting swatted down all day. There were fours stations in total, two with VR and two without. All using the Thrustmaster Hornet Stick, Warthog Throttle and TPR Pedals. Thrustmaster had everything out on display today. They had a section for their high-end stuff, a section for their entry level and the TPRs were out. This is what the Thrustmaster / ED booth looked like all day, those guys did not get a break. I have a ton more pictures that are not DCS related. There were full cockpit setups, full motion platforms and various in-betweens on display and available to try out.

streakeagle Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) I live nearby (20 minute drive). I considered going. I looked up the event this morning. There were only a handful of booths I would even be interested in looking at. Meeting Wags would have been the highlight. If it was more focused on combat flight simulation rather than airliners, ATC, X-Plane etc., then I might have gone. But I have better things to spend $100 on given that I think I would have been ready to leave in under an hour. The Hornet stick looks nice. I will most certainly get one if they ever release it. As it was a clouded over day, it was an opportunity to get up in my attic without boiling to death, so I spent the morning routing copper ethernet to my living room to support the recently relocated TV, Xbox, etc. Mission accomplished.
