inexus Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Crank up my speakers to max, take off full speed ignoring all rules for take-off followed by flying nap of the earth to see if I can avoid the trees and shoot anything that moves around me. After that maybe I'll do the cold start just for fun Edited March 17, 2022 by inexus 1 13900@5.8Ghz, Asus TUF 4090 OC, 64GB@6400mhz DDR5, 4K, TrackIR 5, Tobii, Virpil CM2, CM3 F-15E | F-16C | F/A-18C | A-10C | A-10C II | AV-8B | AH-64D | MI-24P | MI-8 | BS 2 | UH-1H | Mosquito | BF 109 | Spitfire | P-47D | CA | SC | WWII AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_Bumcrack Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Up until I watched the "George" video I assumed that I would be primarily occupying the back seat and would have said: 1. Map controls. 2. Learn to fly. 3. Blow 'stuff' up. But because I'm pretty much restricted to single player mode and will probably spend most of my time as a 'passenger' in the front seat: 1. Map controls. 2. Blow 'stuff' up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wychmaster Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 One thing I definately want to try out today is how those few cells in my head that I call a brain can handle the PNVS. So some night flying is planned for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedouin Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 For me: - Map the Controls and test them out - Some quick flights, just to get the feeling for the bird - Try to understand the MPDs Then from tomorrow and during the weekend, start learning, Cold Start, proper Taxi and Take off, Landings and hovering - perhaps then next week, start learning the weapons I will take it slowly and with a lot of repetitions so the muscle memory starts to recognize the different functions, luckily i am patient man 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburne Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Woohoo here we are, today is the day baby! Yep guess I will start watching some more of Wags videos whilst I pass time pressing F5 key lol. I really need to get back and finish the Hornet campaign I am currently flying - only three missions left. Don't want to miss the drop though - I want to get in the download early as I can. 1 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beirut Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I have zero self-control. I just bought the damn thing a minute ago while it's still 30% off. My Blackshark will be so jealous. But I love my eye candy and just gotta have those cutting edge visuals and tech toys. Might take a nice long flight at dawn and transition from the night vision to the eyeball.

rphtx Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Lets go! This better drop soon or I'll be so jacked on coffee I'll need a pint ; ) My plan is to: 1. Learn startup without referring to reference. 2. Mapping basic flight functions to HOTAS 3. Learning to navigate and fly over the next few weeks until it is second nature 4. Learning one system as a time with weapons and targeting being the last area of focus down the road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpy_dikdik Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) 1. Set up controls 2. Curse that I have a TM Airbus sidestick with 16 buttons and only one hat 3. Set up voice attack 4. Fly whilst remembering the set up (VR only so cannot look to see what I did). Probably swear a lot. 5. Try to justify to my better half the parting of 400+Eur for a decent Hotas Edited March 17, 2022 by shrimpy_dikdik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
