  • Patent number: 5158459
    Abstract: An accessory apparatus for use with computerized airplane flight simulations providing full-size control for elevator, ailerons, rudder, and throttle. Apparatus is free-standing and includes a single compact partially collapsible frame which is anchored by the user's chair. Electronics are provided by user in the form of two conventional dual-axis analog computer joysticks which are removably installed in unmodified form in the accessory. Control stick, rudder pedals, and throttle arrangement mimics that of typical airplanes. Means are provided to adjust the trim position of the rudder, elevator, and (on the yoke configuration), the ailerons. Controls for elevator, rudder, and ailerons are spring-loaded to simulate control forces in an airplane and may be damped for additional realism.
