What attempts have been made at building translation controllers? I've been bouncing that idea around in my brain since I started my pit.
Oddly, I just happen to work with one of the guys who built the original translation controller for the Space Shuttle :speakcool:. He showed me some photos of the thing. The internals, other than being seriously over engineered (as all good NASA projects are), are nothing more than a regular joystick with a push pull axis. Now how hard can that be to make one of our own? We have enough techy guys here to pull this off.
Thoughts?
