I never load on a sparrow.

I've never had to calibrate a Warthog controller. Plug and play for 6 of them so far.

I doubt that unless it was announced somewhere.

Funny.

Buy them both. ED will love you.

I'll stay with Win10 until i'm forced to update.

Maybe if you listen to the Top Gun music you'll want the Hornet/Tomcat.

Maybe you aren't applying the brakes evenly. That will throw you to one side. As an experiment. Instead of programming the brakes on an axis for left-right brakes. Program the brakes as a button. Don't use the left-right buttons. Use the brakes on-off press. It won't matter if you program the press on the left or right pedal. Just program it to one pedal. You can use both pedals to stop if you want but only the pedal you programmed will apply the brakes. That way both brakes will be applied evenly.

I did that too except for one hunting game and it's only 10GB. I can't elk hunt anymore but I can still do it on the computer. Better than nothing.

Why is it so hard to turn it up with the switch? It's the first thing I do when getting in the cockpit. It takes 2 seconds.

Just a few threads above yours.

Thanks.

I have the Warthog too. I assign the Sensor Control Switch to the lower-right button on the stick. What would be the DMS switch on the A-10C. That's how you control where SOI is assigned.

I hope the Dynamic Campaign is higher on the list.

After more thought and messing around. I'm going with the Hog instead of the Hornet. Slower speed suits me better and I don't have the eyesight and reflexes for A2A in the Hornet. I'll let the youngsters protect me as escorts. Plus, I like the idea of protecting our troops in CAS.

I always had plenty to keep me busy and I thought anybody who owned a computer was a nerd. I guess i'm a nerd now.

Keep in mind I was 64 when I got my first computer. So, not at my peak when it comes to learning.

I decided to go with the Hornet. Thanks everybody for the help.

Good you're working it out.

He could have been putting on Hi steering.

I never understood why there's no training mission for the HMCS. They added training missions for the new weapons. I wonder if they'll be a training mission for the 210 radio?

Any chance you're applying nose wheel steering when you lose control?

Yeah, i'll have to dig into working on it. I did build my own system once 15 years ago. It turned out so bad I swore i'd never do it again. Looking back on it I had more problems with the software than the mechanical part of it. Although my wiring wasn't pretty. I didn't realize how big Syria was. I never fly there and removing it gives me 65GB to use.

I tend to agree with you. I've had both since they were released but never got into either one like I wanted to. I flew the Viper mostly or WW2 planes. I want to concentrate on just one plane now. I also have a horrible memory at my age and the Hog is a chore remembering the HOTAS. I do have the Warthog HOTAS which makes it easier. Sort of. I thought of using the A-10C in stead of the A-10C II. That eliminates a bunch of button pushes for the HMCS. There's a lot of campaigns for it and I have them all but never did them. The Hornet has a lot to remember too if I use every weapon. Which I really wouldn't have to but would be nice. There isn't that much on the HOTAS. Guys complain that the DDI's have to be used to use the weapons but I kind of like it because I can see what the button presses are doing. Nothing to remember. The Hog is easy to fly and land but the constant trimming gets kind of old. The FBW of the Hornet makes it simple to fly to me. Boat landings can take a lot of practice to get good at. I wouldn't mind some campaigns from an airbase. I'd like to get to the point of doing the Raven campaigns but the videos i've watched of them being flown baffle me. I don't know what the voice overs are saying. Military talk loses me. One thing I love about the Hornet is the cockpit. It's easy to work with and the HUD is so easy to use compared to the Hog. The Hog also has the CDU which can get complex. Both planes have advantages and disadvantages. That's why I ask for opinions of others. I'm having a hard decision choosing one but don't want to fly both planes. Thanks for your input.

That true for all my games but DCS. I get some stutters with 16GB. $59 for 16GB more is not a big deal. I just hope putting it in is not bad.
