I've just started trying to hit all the correct buttons and toggles during the flight. Having never flown anything this detailed before, it feels strange how much time you spend looking at controls and not out the window at where you're going.
The Salton Sea is something else. Worth looking up if you have time to kill. Was home to some of the first ever nuclear bomb tests. (Testing bomb casing design, not detonation). But it is rumored an armed nuke was dropped in to the Salton Sea, but it did not have a detonator on board. Bunch of abandoned housing developments there now. Its rather eerie to visit. Also thats a neat little track you flew over at the end. Recently its come back to life and hosted some events.
Yeah I have watched a few things on the area, all of california is pretty interesting, just could never live there even if I would like because I am used to midwestern cheap.
Sim pedals for rudder is what I use too, not ideal but I figure better than just rotating my cheap joystick ha. I find crosswind takeoffs to be a lot more difficult than landings with them. That could just be the old slow to respond plane I fly though
Yeah my dad sent me a giant rudder set so in a few videos i switch to that and somehow my brain cannot comprehend them, yet had no issues with sim pedals
Nice smooth landing with the new controls (on the WRONG runway as that was Runway 30 NOT 26)
Race track was California Mid-Winter Fairgrounds
Finally haha, feels like you mentioned the controls a month ago. Ha
Great landing, new controls look super smooth
Yeah it has made a big difference

@kneebon5ive don't blame you on that one.

I have the thrustmaster hotas one. It feels so sloppy and not having rudder pedals drives me crazy.
Oh i got rudder pedals a few episodes later
@ parking brake for toe breaking obnoxious 😂. Ha
Yeah full stop or nothing gets a bit tricky with tail draggers
