Hi all.
For the start, like many others, had a hard time controlling the bird. What helped me was, acquire knowledge and keep trying.
First for me was my actual controls, check for center play and make deadzones (my Warthog is from day one and rudder pedals are the saitek/now logitech.)
My rudders pedals were bad, so 6 million screws later, cleaned and lubed. They are not super smooth but better after cleaning. Biggest thing was to put 25 curve on them. Tral and error, it is a grind but those hours pays of in spades.
Will there come a day for me when I don't fly with the control window up ? I have 12 hours and so far no. I could have a hotas command for on and off, if I get a Casmo moment ;), but for know it stays on.
Flying wise, slowing down demanded a lot more input and attention to detail, So practice and anticipate like you have never done before.
Systems, still working on my cp/g setup, watching a lot of videos.
Frustration: yes there are bugs, but 80% is just bad handeling. Flying a helicopter is hard.
Night, I'm not even close to doing nights but it will come if I put in the effort.
Fun and tough so far for me.
Thanks for the opportunity DCS
