Explain why you feel that way? The Hog does A/G. The Hornet does so much more. Even landing on the boat is so much more complex than landing the Hog on an airfield, which has to be one of the easiest planes to land in DCS.

I've read more than once that the Hornet is the most complex plane in DCS. How can the most complex plane be boring?

The Hornet can do it all. If you find it boring it's because you aren't doing it all.

OP talked about not being able to do steep climbs. That's why I showed it.

How can you tell?

Not sure how high he got. https://www.google.com/search?q=F%2FA-18c+going+verticle+to+30%2C000+ft&sca_esv=569840358&sxsrf=AM9HkKnllWL08GwT2At6KYqIgKwm8T3apw%3A1696158588770&source=hp&ei=fFMZZfybLO6z0PEP--6CyA0&iflsig=AO6bgOgAAAAAZRlhjBj2p0OFEqyjGhkz4girtrw9Ei-E&ved=0ahUKEwj8yaeR29SBAxXuGTQIHXu3ANkQ4dUDCAw&uact=5&oq=F%2FA-18c+going+verticle+to+30%2C000+ft&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IiNGL0EtMThjIGdvaW5nIHZlcnRpY2xlIHRvIDMwLDAwMCBmdDIFECEYqwIyBRAhGKsCMgUQIRirAkj_3gFQAFj40wFwAHgAkAEAmAF8oAHJFqoBBDM0LjG4AQPIAQD4AQHCAgcQIxiKBRgnwgIREC4YgAQYsQMYgwEYxwEY0QPCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICCxAuGIoFGLEDGIMBwgIOEC4YxwEYsQMY0QMYgATCAgsQLhiDARixAxiKBcICBRAAGIAEwgIIEAAYgAQYsQPCAgUQLhiABMICCxAuGIAEGMcBGNEDwgIGEAAYFhgewgIIEAAYigUYhgPCAgUQIRigAcICCBAhGBYYHhgdwgIHECEYoAEYCsICBxAhGKsCGAo&sclient=gws-wiz#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:1d5bd237,vid:LfBjOWQSXdg,st:0

Swap the physical MFD's. Your MFD's wouldn't match what's in the plane but at least it would give you what you're looking for.

I'd forget VR unless you have deep pockets. If you can settle for less. There's two used 3080 TI's in the For Sale forum.

Buy a card that will last the longest. It's cost effective that way.

Thanks for your answer. I kind of figured the Hornet stick would be comfortable mounted in the center. However, I mount the stick and throttle Viper style on both sides. I think i'd be happier with the WW Viper stick and Hornet throttle. As a bonus it's a bit cheaper too.

Ok.

Mustang................A quick question. I'm about to order and torn between getting the Super Hornet HOTAS and the HOTAS Max which is a Hornet throttle but Viper stick. It seems the Viper stick will do everything the Hornet needs but have extra buttons to use. It also has a palm rest. Does the Hornet stick get tiring with no palm rest?

That's why i'm not waiting. I'll just suck it up and pay the $80. I hope I get one that works right. I'm tired of the Warthog HOTAS.

I'm considering buying WW HOTAS. Shipping is $80 to Colorado this morning.

Oops! I just saw this can't be reproduced. So, it never was a problem. Probably why it never bothered me.

It's not a bad thing. We can't see the landing gear animation either, but it's pretty nice to see when we do. Any noise added is good. As long as you know that's all you'll be adding that you can see/hear. Videos are different and we get to see what we can't when flying.

Yes, I mentioned sound in my first post but no way to see the animation realistically. The sound will be good.

Is this still a problem after 2 years?

Way to turn it around bud. Nobody is more into immersion than me but this could only be seen while flying outside the plane like superman. You don't like realism with your immersion? Go ahead and put the animation in the gun but in reality nobody would see it.

You look just like Alonso.

No, I pay through the nose for it too. A 10CM extension is another answer but it's no cheaper. It is a bit more precise along with a softer action.

Ok, thanks. That's just a little over what I use 10CM would be 100mm

What size do you like best for the Hog? Hornet?

Nice.

I don't know how long it will last but i'll give a positive vote for Maingear. Mine only cost $3000 but runs sweet. Zero complaints.
