ohhh gee thanks for pointing that out, thats gonna bug the shit out of me for the rest of my life. By the way Jedi Starfighters dont have frigging tape decks. PT cockpits for ftw.
Why? I'd much rather listen to music during my trench run if I had the opportunity!
Yeah me too. Much rather have some good tunes to listen to while fighting my battles than some fancy CG HUD displays that serves no purpose but to look pretty. Seems like the contrast of a glowing display with darkness of space outside your window would be horribly annoying. Seems like it would create a glare, and glares piss me off. Give me dimply lit knobs and dials any day of the century.
Hey, that's only good if you actually own cassettes! How do you know the PT display couldn't stream my itunes library? :)
Screw iTunes! The last thing I need is the damn Apple logo glaring on my cockpit window while I am trying to blow Tie Fighters to bits. The cassette player will do fine. It was state of the art stuff when the movie came out. Even if you don't have casettes, all it takes is a PC or CD player and a tape deck with a recorder (they're very cheap these days). Just plug your PC into the thing, setup a 45 minute long playlist, and hit record. Flip the tape, set up another 45 minute play list, and presto! 90 minutes of your own lovely little tunes all set and ready to play in your X-Wing fighter. Now, all you need is the X-Wing (if you have any luck on that one, let me know, because I could really use one). Itunes, pah! Holo displays, pah! A true pilot craves not these things.
