Survey, need your help please

**TheCrazedLog** · 01-02-2002, 04:54 AM

Ok for my final school year I am doing Design and Technology. I design something and make it(if possible). You can design anything...and you have to justify your designs. Why this material etc yadda yadda yah...
Please do this survey...wont take you long and I need the material for ideas and so on. Not that im lazy, I want the best product.

Product: A helicopter control system for FS2002 to control a helicopter in it.

Questions:
a) What would you have put in it? (Other than the obvious such as seat, collective etc)

b) How much would you be willing to pay? (This wont be marketed I think, but if you wish, once its complete i will put the designs up somewhere for you all to use. No charges :D )

c) Would you have a shell around it? (plastic casing for looks)

d) What about having some system for moving the base to simulate movement? (eg you yank up on the collective and the seat flies up or something similer)

e) Have you any suggestions for any other ideas?

Thanks a lot for taking this survey (doenst apply if you didnt :) )

My opinion on two of the questions:

Shell: yes, to sort out that other world and concentrate on the virtual :-)

Other things: some kind of monitor, not so very big to show a down view of the ground, something at least I miss in FS2002.

That's my two cents (euro cents of course :-lol)
