Sounds like you gotta hang onto them. Any idea as to whether or not I shall need pedals with the Warthog? Incidentally, you just got me checking out Falcon 4 vids on youtube. Looking kind of awesome I must say.

How to land in a crosswind without pedals? Or trim the nose slightly left and right when aiming?

Yes, I think pedals in flying are a must.

TrackIR is also. ;) Trying it once turns everybody into a fanatic believer. Handling complex and clickable virtual cockpits like in FSX or the DCS A-10 or the BMS Falcon, is a pain.

I say again: a P-A-I-N.

I know the reasoning behind pedals, just didn't know if there was an auto-rudder feature in DCS. Until now, I've always used the twist rudder feature on my SW2 FFB. But just realised that there is no "twist" on the HOTAS setup. I already have a TrackIR unit. Just need to blow the dust off it and plug it in :)

You could just map rudder functions either to keys or buttons (depending on what they're used for, obviously). Without looking through myriad paperwork they may already be assigned. It's not the most beautiful action but it'd work.

Didn't I mention that Sky likes his PMDG 737NGX? :hmmm:

Also, I've fixed the following -

No, so far you haven't. We're still waiting. How else should he ever know? The poor lad doesn't know, just because you have turned lazy. :nope:

Completely your own fault, really.

I've always been partial to the old Janes F-15, and their FA/18. I even went to eBay and found a "retro" desktop that will run Windows 3.1 and Win 97. Just don't have time to set up again and relearn, but wait until next year!
