Imagine the X-Box controller of joystick interface for this
Just right for a force feedback controller

I think it should be used in route building to transport you around your route.
When you are building an area, the pump cart is there on track. Double click on it and you get a list/menu of preset locations on your route to which you can select and either switch to the place straight away or jump on the cart for the ride along.

Excellent suggestion. With some animated workmen in hi-vi jackets too, perhaps. I much prefer travelling around my routes-in-progress by rail as opposed to using the flyout.

Now, I wonder how I can connect my cross trainer up to the PC, so I can get a workout that actually seems to go somewhere!!

Now what a great idea, my daughter donated me a cross trainer, after my retirement to try and keep me fit, now the thought of placing it in front of the 37in TV/Monitor and it would make exercising a lot more enjoyable. Keep up the the pressure somebody will come up with something.

Get a Dog, far more fun !
Where IS this Wickem ?
I've been thinking about the pump...... It's going to look very odd without someone "pumping" it will it come with some interchangeable pumpers ???
Interesting problem, does clicking on it to drive it "add" a pumper ? I foresee a problem if its that guy in the blue shirt who seems to drive everything ! and someone in a hivis will upset everyone else !!
Cheers
