RE: Headsets
The ThrustMaster set has been discussed in an earlier thread:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?37640-Headset-recommendatioins
I’ll stick to my point of view: It’s a nice looking headset with a good fit… but the sound is a bit of a dissapointment…

RE: Joystick controller card to usb conversion
Hi Vito
Try to do a Google search on something like “serial joystick to usb”.
I’m sure you’ll find something that may help you out. I’ve got no experience with any of the products, but some are said to be compatible with the old thrustmaster sticks.https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Joystick-Adapter-SideWinder-F3U200-08/dp/B000067RIV

RE: Headset recommendatioins?
Currently looking at the Thrustmaster T.Flight U.S. Air Force Edition which has mostly high review marks on Amazon, but one review said it suffered from poor Bass sounds. Anyone here have one of those that can relate their experience?
The Thrustmaster AF Edition got the looks, good fit and works well with VA / VAC etc. …… BUT I have to agree… the bass sounds are a real dissapointment, compared to other gaming headsets. Sad, but true IMO.

RE: Iron Bombs hits surface of water and does not sink
As I know bouncing effect is not modelled in any flight sim. It is way too rare thing to spend any resource on it. Any modeling would be just mimicking the effect.
Actually, IL-2 has skip-bombing modelled.
AFAIK it has been concidered an effecitive alternative to dive-bombing in “the old days”. -
RE: Yame64 4.34
Not yet. But you can make it work with the current version. Check the other thread:

RE: Converting Cougar Throttle to F 16 style throttle
Hi mounty.
It depends on what kind of convertion you are talking about.
If you are talking about an “extention” of the Cougar throttlearm to the looks, size and functionality of the real one, there is some options to choose from.First: You can try to get hands on some drawings and dimensions and dive in and build it from scratch. I havn’t the direct link, but you’ll be able to find them somewhere at viperpits.org
Second: If you have acces to a capable 3D printer, you can get the ready made files Hempstead has provided (for free) via:
http://www.hempstick.org/The_Official_Hempstick_Site/F16_Throttle_Arm.htmlThird: You can dig into your savings and buy one of the best replicas around, made by Martin. Again, go to viperpits and take a look. It’s top quality
http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php?topic=10079.0If you are going all the way and want to have the throttle guiderail mounted as well, Matin makes that one too. You can also get one via realsimworld:
https://realsimworld.dk/f16-simulator-shop/left-console-partsHope, that’ll give you some inspiration
Many have had the experience that scratchbuilding is tempting, partly because of the challenge of creating it your self, partly because of the prospect of saving money… well, taking into account the time you spend on searching for info and use on building - and the money you end up using on the right materials - a lot of people find that buying a good replica to begin with would have been worth the expence. Just my 2C (and experience)Good luck with your project. Let us know how it goes.
