F16 stick controls

[ruggbutt]

I'm going to Luke AFB Friday with a buddy, we have an hour booked in the ACES simulator head to head. Since it's been forever since I've flown F4 seriously, can someone give me a quickie refresher on the real stick controls and how they operate?

My buddy is goin' down in flames, but it would be nice to have those few extra seconds for that extra bit of humiliation. ;) And yeah, I'm competitive. :D

Can't help but I will put in a request for pictures of the cockpits and what not. Close ups of the controllers are cool as well.

BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT is some shots of you gloating after SEVERAL successful passes over your friends buring airframe :)

[ruggbutt]

I'll do what I can for you. :)

Sweet ;)

Argggh!!!!!! We got bumped, evidently some squadron is being sent overseas and there's some "emergency" training going on. It's good though, as any extra time in the simulator means that another one of our pilots will be coming home in one piece.

I'll keep ya'll informed when I find out our reschedule date.

that's too bad.... but good for our Warriors.

Keeping the edge sharp and protecting the edges of the Empire, nothing wrong with that :salute:

The F-16 HOTAS is explained well in the LockheedMartin MLU manual. It can be downloaded here...

Nice link Ziggy :)

But I was just looking to add to my collection of pictures taken of controllers. ;)

I'll dig out some pics of the stick if you would like?

PS Just put some black tape over your monitor to censor the pics of the Cougar.

I have a real throttle for the F-16 (it is the old rev without the IFF as well) :)

and NO I did not pay 3 plus bills for it from eBay :)
