Following up to Calif Bill
My statement was in a normal loop or roll in the real AT-6 you did not notice a change in the G force. Pretty much stays 1 G for the complete maneuver. right, it was unrelated to MSFS, -- "Mike....."(not "Mike") remove clothing to email |

The impressive part about bose company is that they sell them for hundreds of dollars. There's one born every minute. You're saying that they sell noise-cancelling headphones that don't actually contain any form of active noise cancellation? Active noise cancellation is rubbish too. I bought a set, and while they did reduce the background "throbbing" noise from the engines slightly, they don't have any effect on "random" noises like people talking or announcements (the latter a particular problem on some trains, rather than planes). -- Roland Perry You must have bought the wrong sort, then, I have a pair that I use on long distance flights and they add considerably to my comfort. (Some airlines provide them, at least in Business, but not all.) As you say, they don't cut out talking, so they are no use for work in, say, an open-plan office, but for reducing engine noise in a plane they are excellent. B; |

I meant to add that I have had bad experiences with noise canceller's too. The Phillips ear bud version are totally useless. I have tried the upper end Bose and was blown away, but the price tag is also stratuspheric. -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacations www.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell |

Nice simple technology and materials like you see in a $60 pair of headphones, but a $350 price tag so you can have that special feeling of pride that comes from having spent too much. When the plug to cord connection goes intermittant in a year, you can feel that the $100 repair bill isn't so bad since the headphones cost $350. |
