Just got back from works haloween party to find amazon dispatched notice. My hog is somewhere in nottingham with a fat arsed mono brow courier with BO, ( in Hollywood movies he would be an elegant dashing renegade noble called Robin. Or geoff. ). He'd better respect the package.

Bird away tomorow so have clear runway to install hog in cougars place with bint none the wiser

Ninja hotas mode activated. Only my shit eating grin may give me away

Just looked on City Link's website and it says that my TMWH is at the Manchester depot ready to be brought to my works address today, in a Humvee :)

I got 2 items from Flightstore in the last month and they are very good normaly one item was largish box (rudder pedels) and ordered on the Friday came on the monday. that was thier first class option.

 

I will be getting the Hog stick from them as soon as I can afford it:megalol::megalol:

[Kiezer]

Well I am not dead yet :D dont know wether or not to cancel flight store and see if amazon can deliver on a weekend... most likly they will not :(

 

still no replay from flightstore all I know is that they have had 24hrs to proccess the order find my stupid mistake and e-mail me. argh!!!!!!!

[coolts]

Mine is in a citylink van enroute now. Worlds biggest hangover will not take the shine out of this day! Bacon and egg sandwiches will come to my aid.

[Fopeyducker]

They wanna hurry up and dispatch mine if they want to make the 30th delivery date and avoid a very abusive email/phone call :)

[Kiezer]

you are all gits :P here i was ment to have it today and now i will not have it untill.... god knows when? :(

[coolts]

I'm not technically a git till i have a big heavy box on my desk. ;) Still plenty of time for it to end up in Middlesborough.

[coolts]

[Kiezer]

[coolts]

[Squid_DK]

Hate is good, you need that feeling to turn and burn with the all new THRUSTMASTER HOTAS WARTHOG :joystick:

[MadDogMcQ]

Hahaha, nice one. I've just spoken to the City Link courier on his mobile (I know him) and the awkward sod said he would be dropping it off later this afternoon. He said he'd flung it around a bit in the back of the van to maintain his reputation as a courier driver LOL.

[coolts]

Heh. The packaging is very tight. I would advise opening the lid and then turning the whole thing upside down on the floor and lifting the box away as i ripped one of the inner white boxes trying to get it out.

 

hangover-unpacking is not pretty ;)

 

heading home at lunchtime to smuggle past GF.

install, fireup A-10. twiddle. shut down. back to work. bah!

[kam]

Mines in the hands of HDNL at the moment :helpsmilie:

OPERATION W'HOG SITREP

 

Hog box taken home at lunchtime. Confirm Girlfriend at home. Switching to plan B

Innocent mode activated. “I came home to spend some time with you dear”

GF left to go to her grans house. “That’s a shame dear, see you later on tonight around 9pm”

Clock is ticking. 35 mins remaining till return to work required

Detach Cougar and move to spare bedroom behind boxes

Download TARGET

Unpack WARTHOG. Mmmmmmmmmmlook at the metalmmmmmmm the switches [sNAP OUT OF IT YOU ARE ON A MISSION]

Secure packaging and stash in spare room for loft removal after work

Wire up WARTHOG. Mmmmm no centre slop. Mmmmmmfirm switches

Lots of Windows USB “bingbong” noises. Very reassuring.

Need another USB port. BYE BYE iphone charger.

Cabled in EXACT SAME PLACE AS COUGAR. Damn! A million green lights! Mmmmmmmmmgreemnlights. No, that’s no good, she will notice that. Hopefully configurable in windows as were the MFD lights.

Install TARGET? No time. Let’s just see if it works off the bat.

Fire up TrackIR

Fire up DCS:A-10

Have a look in the controller page. Everything there.

Fire up my nice night-time desert tank busting mission with JTAC

Cold dark cockpit

Throttle is INSANE. So many controls. Need to develop fingers of corncert pianist. Girlfriend will appreciate ;)

Start the switches…

I’ve forgotten which engine has to be started first….its 50-50.

Left engine……nice. Use the REAL switches. EAC? Check.

Lift throttles and over the detent. Engines start. Nice

Look at watch

Bollocks.

Shut everything down. Throttle lights still on. That’s a GF giveaway. Why has that happened? Oh yeah, monitor USB hub.

Back to work.

Write report

Ten minute Conclusion

Works off the bat. No drivers. No profiles. TARGET not needed. REVELATION. (i usually spend weeks farting aBout with profiles)

It all just works. Like a Nintendo Wii for grownups.
