Greb Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 After being totally out of the flight sim community for almost two years. I'm very happy to be back. Life can be quite involved at times and I was no exception. Divorce and reestablishing ones self is not a overnight feat. I've come around though and glad to be on with flight simming again. As many may know I'm a truck driver. I do west to east coast runs and home again and I'm off 4 to 5 days at a pop after being out 2 weeks. I was in Florida when I ordered the warthog and it arrived before I got back home. It took me two days to set up office and it came out nice. Of course I had days on the road to think about how to setup. My initial impression is good. Throttle is nice and smooth....love starting up ..setting the throttle...way cool. I was using an x-52 Saitek before and the precision to the warthog is worlds apart. Setting down in the green of the AOA indicator is a breeze. I'm sure it will be much easier in refueling. I'm just going through my targeting stuff now. I have forgotten so much and learning of the button assignments will take some exercise ....but much easier. I also ordered the saitek pro rudders and I love having a rudder system now. I was using the twist stick on the saitek. I also added a 55 inch screen.... If my ex wife saw this setup .....she would be so pissed! Thank god I don't have to worry about that any longer!
hansangb Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 LOL. welcome back! Do look into the Warthog spring mod (just google for it) and you may enjoy flying a bit more. Basically you remove the main spring to make it much easier to maneuver the joystick. An absolute must for UH-1. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
