So, today i found an pic on deviantart, and got an idea. What if this is was a videogame controller? Move your legs, tilt wooden panels and control a wings of virtual bird or dragon? Central part are soft and sweet, vibration controlled as feedback of game (e.g. wind feeling, flatter, etc.). Optional e-stim can work as damage indicator. Will you try to become a dragon?

More like a dragon pilot like in the first Avatar movie. :P

Retweeting the image because it was clipped on my screen.

Interesting. The boards can be angled inward to create a greater slope, requiring more leg power to avoid the pony effect.

Thanks Shannon, I had already put it in my files folder as an idea to develop new things. :mrgreen:

If you suspect that it is not the full image, you can right click on it and choose "Open image in new tab" or "Copy image" and then paste it into your favorite drawing program or Word document.

Some interesting informations about posting photos (just an overview for me so that I have everything together :facepalm: ):
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=309 Information and rules
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=485 inserting pictures
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8662#p61680 Warning EXIF
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=13205#p96762 How insert photos in your post
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=14211#p110105 Using animated pictures (GIF)
I can't find it on the site anymore, but normally I resize the image using the free program GIMV (Image/Image Scaling) to less than 600 x 600 pixels and when no detail is needed to maximum size of 300 x 300 pixels.
Then I export it as JPEG (*.jpg) and for the actual storage it comes with a screen where you can erase all information that is not needed (EXIF-data and XMP-data).

Adjustable spread and such. Interesting piece of kit. 8)

I'd call it Pegasus. :idea:

I read the title and thought it had something to do with eating brussel sprouts. But I like the idea, you have to win the game to get released. With my gaming skills I'm in for a long ride.

Nothing prevents you from - by the up and down wings - using also your afterburner if you have eaten Brussels sprouts. :wink:

I just had this mental image of bounddosster pulling up next to the Glamourous Glennis (Bell X-1) on that thing, flames shooting out of his butt, and the completely befuddled expression on Chuck Yeager's face... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Do I have to install the search program on firefox and will it continue automatically?

Too late in the evening for coffee. So no spills or spits. :hi:

That definitely is on afterburners, with rocket assist. You could fly circles around Chuck's plane. 8)

You need to copy the URL into Notepad and manually replace the %3A with a colon (:) and the %2F's with slashes (/), and edit out the reference to the Startpage search engine so you start with the second "https://. Otherwise it's a jumbled mess that the address resolver in your browser doesn't understand (duh, wots a %3A?), and then kicks it to your favorite search engine. The computers are getting faster, but they ain't getting any smarter... :facepalm:

Sorry everyone, I cocked it up. No idea what I did it worked on preview, perhaps it was because of the hjbipjergwtprknbgfsjnhudhqwdej or even lkfdniprghwrpok[gbkoirgjqwdjn either way thanks for the rescue Jenny.
Great way to start a new year. :facepalm:
