Mission Space Joy Sticks

[The_CEO]

As you start to head into MARS you are asked by CapCom to grab hold of the joystick infront of you to ' help ' steer the Shuttle. For what you dont know, is that they are just redirecting the feeling of movement through your hands. The centifuges lack the ' motion ' based to make things shutter, So this is what occurs.



Cool Eh?

Actually... no.

Why? Because the sticks push in the way that the X-2 wants to go through enertia (sp?), so when he wants you to go up, the ride vehicle wants to go down, so the sticks go down (remember that the joysticks are reversed, so up is down, and down is up). If that made no sense, I did my job. :lol:

Yeah.. But my point still stands.

Ok, fine.

Well, I dont want to sound stubborn. Your points are just as valid. Im just looking at it as a Tech View

Story wise yours is 100% correct.

Then how do you explain the shuttering of the cabin that you feel right at take-off? I didn't have my hand on the joystick at that point, but still felt the cabin shutter as we lifted off.
