I was going over Jed Margolin's site again and was surprised that he added some pretty interesting info about Tom Cat recently !
http://www.jmargolin.com/tomcat/tomcat.htm
Be sure to scroll all the way down for the newly added part called:
A New Chapter in TomCat History
Maybe posted here before, but he uploaded three video's of the "game" in action. It looks pretty impressive.
Amazing that he gets sued by a real avionics company for some patent he got in the 80's !!!
Also take a look at the test-screen. That's the test-screen I'd wished for on my SW, no more flipping through menu's with the hard to reach test-button, but simply "point and shoot" with the yoke.
Be sure to watch that test video all the way, funny War Games reference at the end !!!
Also nice to see a vid of the creator playing his Star Wars game.....funny to see all high scores as "JED"
The best thing of all: he's considering SELLING it !
P.S. I googled around a bit using that court-thing-nr. and one article says that Honeywell Licensed this Patent to use in real aircraft :D
