I don't think I'll be attempting VR until more tech is advanced to support such things & well.  Such as 'mouse gloves' for punching buttons in the cockpit. 

Still a ways to go regarding peripherals and software refinement.  :nerd:

Ended up in the drink on my first CASE. Stuck the landing on the second try. That has me pumped! Could not get nose wheel steering to work at all afterward though. Wings up, catch bar up. I must have broke something.

That is one of the coolest interviews I have ever seen. I am not if I have ever seen someone that close to a platform talk that much about the comparable flight sim experience on modern jets.

My friend who was a Harrier and Hornet flyer never really got into flight sims.  He used to watch me flight simming and laugh at how unrealistic and crazy it was.

Was at local airshow today and the blue angels were there, which fly the hornets.  Plus, a number of hornets displayed throughout the show.  Had a chance to be in the front row to watch the pilots as they did their startup routines which was very cool....made me think about DCS Hornet and wanting to go home and play it:)

^pics!?

Just a couple from the show....its funny, I was so much in awe of the startup routine, checking my camera I have zero of the blue angels:(  Also, they had a handful of A-10's, those things are just awesome to see up close!

Should prove interesting to read.
At first I thought it was not on dcs but real. I know the Chinese and some other countries are still mastering the carrier efficiencies. So let's give em a tutorial. It really amazes me what is free and available from primary sources these days. But I guess it certainly ain't a national secret.
I am sure after watching and reading this material I will be inspired and have to resist the call of the dcs hornet.
