Just ordered my first HOTAS

OH. That is an entirely different story. You have to make a program for every single plane you fly. I have the flight commands set up perfectly, but no weapons yet. The weapons settings will be permanent. There's no way I'll remember mulitple setups, especially with 32 buttons on each stick. There's already over 150 commands I have to remember to fly the plane.

This is a simulator. I have to actually turn on the electrical power before I can do anything. It goes on from there. There's about 20 commands before I can even move.

And this is NOT a fully modeled aircraft. The A10-C is. So it's triple that amount at least. (It's four times as expensive as well.)

I really want to get decent at this within a year, because they are presently working on my favorite aircraft of all time: The F4 E Phantom. Fully modeled.
