First and general ongoing impressions

[jeffham222]

So I got this baby downloaded before work and when I got home I couldn't wait to fly it... At last it is here!

 

First off, hats off to Heatblur! This is a killer module.

 

No I didn't read the manual ("RTFM, DUDE!!!") yet so I'm well aware of shortcomings I've experienced thus far.

 

Still trying to get a good cockpit familiarization going to figure out where the heck everything is--granted I jumped straight into the free flight after spending about an hour configuring my keyboard, throttle and stick bindings. Seems like a pretty low count of bindings at this point compared to the Hornet, but more to follow I am sure.

 

I gotta say, this thing climbs! Throttle management will be a "thing" to learn unlike in the Hornet. I haven't managed to pull the friggin' wings off of it yet but I'm sure I will at one point. Seems relatively stable--figured there would be a bunch more problems.

 

Jester is gonna be fun to figure out... tried messing with it a bit, but sorting out how to choose options will be another big thing for me and I believe this needs to get sorted before I get into any sort of fight.

 

Anyway, what are YOUR first impressions of the model?
