Hey BOOM, well the last 24 hours have simply been the programing stage. The Warthog's T.A.R.G.E.T. GUI is the most advanced I have ever seen. And if anything, it has made me a little dissipointed with FS9 as I haven't been able to program certain features like taxi, beacon lights etc. As for the product itself, it doesn't have a twist rudder, so I ran out yesterday morning and got the Saitek Pro rudder peddals. It is a whole new world taxiing the aircraft using the rudder pedals. Viva la Cessna!!! I completed the Warthogs first complele flight last night from Gatwick V3 to Stuttgart GA1 using the CS757. My girlie was my first officer all the way excuting all instuctions given by ATC. All I had to go was land the plane! What I love the best it the reverse thrust detent by lifting the throttle levers and pulling it backward! The movent of the stick itself is more real than anything I have ever felt outside a real aircraft and it's solid metal. I just love the way it feels, there is nothing cheap about the quality of this thing. I am surprised it doesn't cost more....
