Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Re the sticks, I was going to suggest a specialist flight simulation company in the UK, RC simulations, but I have just been devastated to discover that the owner of the company, Bob Sidwick, died over 12 months ago, and I don't know if they are still operating or not.

I've not been closely involved with Flight Sim systems for the last 15 years, before that, some of the specialised systems I was involved with were very sharp end devices used for research, and I got a number of items over the years from Bob, and my demo rig went to Birmingham to his Flight Sim show on a number of years. I have happy memories of regularly visiting Bob, Carol, the family and dogs in the portacabins that they operated out of for many years beside the runway at Bristol Airport, and there was always something new and interesting to look at and talk about, both in simulation and light aircraft flying, which Bob was also active in.

Bob organised and sponsored a lot of Flight Simulation events in the UK, and he was one of the foremost suppliers of many different flight simulation systems, from basic computers up to very complex moving replicas of flight deck units for professional training, and he would always be able to provide good information and advice to anyone who called. He will be missed by the flight simulation community.
