I didn't pay $80 for a rusty plane. I should have an option for a clean Hornet like the cockpit in the Hog.

I can't compare. I've never been near a Hornet.

When I practice with my Hawken. I use a full elk load and put holes in the target.

I never look at the speed when landing the Hornet.

I already owned the VKB pedals. They are built well. I buy and sell a lot of stuff. The only real flying I've done is in a P-51. My buddy owns one.

Give this one a try. I use it. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3302845/

I'd like a cleaner looking Hornet too. Somebody had it when it was new. Might as well be me.

I don't fly WW2 anymore. It's hard for me to justify another set of crosswind pedals to just take off and land on the boat. If you saw my auto racing setup you'd know I don't go cheap. I also don't waste money on something I don't need or use. DCS is not the only thing I do in life.

If this is pointed at me? I use a Warthog HOTAS. I need rudder pedals. Right now I use a cheap joystick that has a twist z axis. I put it next to the Warthog stick and just use it to taxi and take off on airfields. It's useless for a crosswind landing but we don't have those landing on the boat. On an airfield i'm in trouble.

Nope!

Turns the plane better than just the ailerons.

Shark bait!

Ok. I stand corrected.

Yes, but AOA is how we're measuring it in the cockpit. No?

No, it's 8.1 degrees up.

I really like the feel of the 10cm anyway. I'll probably stay with it.

Does it do it in SP? Make a track there.

One of the few things I really like about the Hornet is the HUD is easy to read. It's fine as is.

Losing the plane might be worse.

It goes against my grain to slam it in too but that's what it's made to do. So, I suck it up and slam it. It sure beats going for a swim.

Too much nose down won't catch the wire. Why do you want it?

What is the rocket simulating if it stays on the rail? How would you know if you hit anything?

That makes sense and the reason I don't use the rudder. My vision has become so bad I don't dogfight anymore and the reason I stopped flying my favorite WW2 plane the P-51. I always land and takeoff from the boat and I only need the rudder to taxi there. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. Thanks.

I sold my gear when I left last time. So, I need rudder pedals now. If i'm going to concentrate on the Hornet. I'm having a hard time talking myself into good pedals. Besides taxi, takeoff, and landings. Do you use the rudders much?
