Talked to a guy I know, that was an actual A-10 pilot! He gets the real one started in 7 minutes! He also said during the first Gulf War, sometimes he was still hitting switches while rolling to the runway!

a ssd only really works if you plant the OS on it and games of course. And that would mean swapping the hdd. Not sure what the warranty is.
But hey, it's fun trying and it runs much faster. ;)

>>17207 yes the hdd is old skool, not sure if it has space for an internal second hdd, but with USB3 an external would be pretty quick.
As for price, should have been £750, but I found a bargain and got it for £530 :)

I presume the hard drive is 'old skool' and not an ssd. Can you install a secondary drive (ssd or hdd)?

I altered the pre-flight steps and came to 30. Take-off has only 9 steps. Once I'm airborne I'll worry about the landing procedure ;)

I don't like the look of the Saitek, too futuristic. But I'll probably buy the X52 as it comes out better in the reviews and is relatively cheap.

Okay. I'm as far as starting up the battery and the generator too ;)
However I'm stuck with individual engine control, whatever key I assign on either the keyboard or joystick they just won't throttle up!
However when I do a quick start (already flying) I have no problems with the slider on the joystick.
Weird. Keep you posted!
