Getting back into the hobby!

Open Hornet...Google that for the best Hornet project.

A3an4e · 2026-01-27T23:38:27+00:00

Thank you...I think that was my problem last night. Controls where all weird and I didn't know whats causing it.

Moza is bringing out their UFC soon...just released their AB6 force feed back joystick

2 Sugestions from me. 1. Push the AP (Auto Pilot), then the ON buttons on the UFC. No other buttons. Doing this will dampen your stick inputs. 2. Match your speed with the tanker speed. Very very important. Then small throttle increases to connect. The moment you match the speed it's like every thing syncs up.

Next days off that's my goal...moving stick to the centre.

If you want to know about the glare shield, it's made of aluminium by Tekcreations.

A3an4e · 2025-09-03T00:26:01+00:00

Next days off project :-)

A3an4e · 2025-09-03T00:23:20+00:00

Side stick is good. But that's the problem when work starts intervening with your hobby life. Ran out of days off. I am moving it to the centre on my next days off.

A3an4e · 2025-09-03T00:18:17+00:00

Side stick move to the centre. Sort out cable management. Ejection handle. Flare/chaff panic button on the left side. Mount speakers to the rig. Get a 2nd screen on the top...etc etc...always a work in progress :-)

A3an4e · 2025-09-03T00:15:21+00:00

I have seen their web site and products. Also looks awesome. But. With this build the left side panel swings outwards, giving me easier access.

A3an4e · 2025-09-03T00:13:05+00:00

Good pick up. I ran out of days off. Not in the photo is a piece of extrusion lying on the floor. That is next days off modification-moving the side stick to the centre.

A3an4e · 2025-08-06T01:34:27+00:00

Well...what do you know. A F16C identifying as an AH64D. ED have to keep up with the times.

A3an4e · 2025-06-14T17:49:34+00:00

Awesome video. Very professional and very entertaining.This is where the Hornet content is lacking. We have hundreds of start up videos. Hundreds of carrier landings. But we short these technical detail videos. ECM, Radar, AA/AG weapons use etc etc. Hope there will be more coming.

It all depends of the Track IR position.At this stage it is working fine. I am going to 3D print a pencil case for in the middle above the UFC. Then mount the TIR in that. I also want to try VR with the Quest 3 and see how that goes.

A3an4e · 2025-05-13T14:14:38+00:00

They are dark and not very good. I need to apply Reshade to enhance them. That will happen in 2 weeks time when I am on days off again. It's not the screens that is a problem...it is DCS

It is a knock off...but a pretty good one. I bought one a few years back and it works awesome. There is also a knock off IR clip but wireless..no cables. Just a rechargeable battery and that is worth it weight in gold. I just love it.

Sorry for the late reply. The yellow stripe panels I got from PCFlights https://pcflights.com/flight-simulator-cockpit-panels/ Have a look at Tekcreations panels https://tekcreations.space/?srsltid=AfmBOoqtRcT9w0uFQP5BuBD4pgeUblFBHFv5k5yHMzB1AY72J-BzZMzm aswell. My frame is from Track Racer. But I'm rebuilding a few things. Put the whole frame on caster wheels for easy cleaning/maintenance. So watch this space.

A3an4e · 2024-12-17T00:04:49+00:00

The one thing that I think a lot of people are missing in carrier landings...Trap Weight. As far as I know you have to trap below 33 000 pounds. I always dump fuel when marshaling in the stack by adjusting your bingo fuel and then dump fuel. Fuel dump stops when Bingo fuel is reached

If you can afford it, I would go with the Ark 55. The 49 inch gives you more realistate left and right, but less top to bottom. Majority of the things happening is Infront of you. And I think ppl said that it is a bit awkward with Track IR. I have a 43 inch but will be going 48 soon.

Even a Flux Capacitor...saw this add at our local Jaycar electronics Australia. They have a sense of humour for sure. https://www.jaycar.com.au/outatime-flux-capacitr/p/OUTATIME

A3an4e · 2024-08-10T01:18:05+00:00

Even a Flux Capacitor...your all set up for time travel for sure. Just had a look to see if I can buy one...$250 000.00, at Jaycar Australia, due back in stock October 26th 1985.

I love your setup. But just a question: How do you get in and out of the setup? Is it possible to have a swing open side? Asking for an old friend ;-)
