However some things appear odd to the Western reader. Kaberov’s manner can seem so alien that it rings untrue. However that is to miss the alternative explanation: Kaberov, along with many Soviet citizens of his generation, simply thinks differently to us.

The Trifecta of Flight Sim Peripherals: Page 6

The Potential Once the software matures beyond basic functionality (which, granted, is pretty powerful — full programming of every switch, dial, axis, and slider multiplied by three modes) the potential is huge for the unit. First, the iMFD display comes with an SDK for programming display information. If one is so skilled and with the […]
