Jaafit, this is as good a time as ever i guess to ask.

Why do you guys not release a small interlink box type deal? I run realflight on my laptop (which was built for running 3d studio...so it has no problem handling the game), so i like to take it with me. I dont mind carrying a transmitter...but what sucks is that I have to carry 2 if i want to use my 7C...and you know how much of a difference using a different TX makes things feel...why not just make a small box with the lock mechanism (still against hardware locks in general, but thats another discussion) and the same futaba mini connector on it? That way i could just put it in my laptop bag, and my TX in its case, and it would be alot better

I know the internals of the locking mechanism arent that big or complicated. I've even considered gutting my interlink and making one myself, but i dont like the idea of destroying it.

When A hardware lock becomes a burden to your customers (and it is, im far from the only person who feels this way, as seen in other posts here and elsewhere), its time to rethink it. Its even worse when you realize that there are already numerous torrents and listings in p2p programs with versions hacked already, I even made a usb emulator in .net that simulated the interlink enough to let the program launch (no, i didnt and WONT release it to anyone else) so i could work on 3d models and getting them into the game without having the interlink hooked up.

And using this as an alternative would bring down the price of the software and put it in even better compition with afpd (i for one dont see any ccompition, g3 is better IMO, but people who dont know tend to look at the price)
