ker2x Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I own a Thrusmater HOTAS WARTHOG, so i can easily control the thrust engine independantly. My little challenge of the day, to learn how to fly this odd thingy is to flight without touching the joystick. I don't know how realistic it is, but it's surprisingly easy ! - i have to touch the joystick a few seconds to take off - i can have an easy steady flight (at ~200mph), without using the joystick (and withtout the keyboard, of course) - i can easily gain or lose altitude (symetric thrust, no joystick) - it's really easy to turn left or down and keep a relatively steady altitude (ok, +/- 100), using asymetric thrust control (and no joystick of course). Checkpoint can be easily followed with a good accuracy. The only real problem is the landing. As soon as your landing gears are out, the plane take a deep dive. Maybe it could be controlled with the landing gear out, not sure. This is only my 2nd day of flight :) The track file of my 1st test : http://fractals.s3.amazonaws.com/vrac/no-joy-1.trk The landing was a little messy as i suddenly had to use the joystick to avoid a crash (i lost a lot of altitude with the landing gear) :joystick: Anyway, it's an interestingly way to learn how to fly the A-10 :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
