I thank you Dark. At least now I have a lead to check out. I reply to this letter this way so that all can get the same info that I received. Like I said, the products that I have that I know have USB support written into them are the first ever hand to ear flight simulator which does have force feedback written into it Three D Velocity, also known as TDV. Then there's the games from Blind software, Blast Chamber which in my opinion beats classic pipe hands down, then there's hunter and troopanum. Then of course Jim Kitchen puppy one. I need to down load Tom's current project once again to give it a honest stress test. So I thank you for this lead. Ron like other's are trying to finally untie themselves from the keyboard for their favorite hand to ear game and or simulator.
