Very nice. Thanks.

 

What you guys think: Is the working in for the Hornet easier with ne knowledge of the Harrier?

 

In the Tuts on YT they seem in some cases very similar from the systems view...

I mean, I don't own the harrier, but the hornet isn't too bad to learn IMO. I know the AV-8B's cockpit is certainly based on the F/A-18.

 

There are some things I haven't taken the time to really understand (like the AZ/EL page, and a few targeting pod stuff). I did find the Hornet more intuitive than the Harrier.

 

If you do get the Hornet or get to try it out and need help with something, plenty of us are happy to help out 🙂

They may seem similar; flying the Harrier is much more complex than the Bug. The Hornet practically flies itself. The Harrier will try to kill you as soon as it's airbourne, especially when you are using vectored lifting.

 

All-out complexity wise the Hornet's systems (MFD pages) seem much more advanced, and it (at least to me) seems to be more versatile in the roles it can take. Both modules are more fun than is officially allowed 🙂
