I have been in Fredom 90's cockpit a couple of times in real life and realised that ship sim have made a mistake!
In real life Fredom 90 has a rudder bar controlled by your feet it does not have a steering wheel !! I had the privillege to go in the real cockpit because my grandad is a member of the hovercraft museum !!

Cheers

SRN4 hovercraft

No, the real Freedom 90 doesn't have a steering wheel, only a bar on the floor where your feet are used to steer...

It can be seen in Ralphy's pic here:

I mean NO !!!! the actual wheel your pointing at the puff ports.

Most hovercraft are controlled by your feet other than some small ones EG the hoverhawk

It has its own livery, seeing as I have no idea who currently iowns the rights to Hoverspeed...

And when its done it will be on SSE

LOL the model it's not even complete plus it would take about a month ish for VSTEP to give it life and get it into the game, but since CCC is finished for the year, you are looking at next year

As the others have already pointed out, I also had the privilage of blagging my way into the cockpit.

The reason why they put a steering wheel in is because some people prefer to play using their mouse, you can't really control foot pedals with a mouse now can you?

A little bit off topic...Do you know what the handle that is in this pic do? i've been wondering for aaaaaaaaages!!

LucAtC · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2011, 22:03:01 »

Is it not a handle to control a searchlight?

Luc

Ralphy · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2011, 22:06:49 »

Hmmm, a very reasonable explanation. But what about if they would want to to control the pitch of the light?

Overwise i would say you are right, there's still some doubt with it...

LucAtC · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2011, 22:08:56 »

... pitch is controlled by pushing and pulling the handle ...
