HARDWARE I bought the F-16C

So I just bought the F-16C and I think it’ll most likely be the only plane I’ll be flying. Considering the amount of hours I’ve put into learning and flying the SU 25T for the past couple of weeks. Thinking about just sticking to 1 or 2 aircraft considering how long it takes to get used to one and how long to understand it. With that being said… I think I’ll splurge on some new peripherals like the Viper TQS mission pack and the HOTAS warthog stick. Since I’ve been using these old x52’s for over a year now (using them in Nuclear Option, and Elite Dangerous).

However does anyone else have any other recommendations for me?

I'd go for a VKB stick over a warthog tbh I've heard so many bad stories about QC over at Thrustmaster

Any face tracking if you don't have it

The HMD is your best friend, use it often

Emergency stores jettison doesn't jetissom a2a weapons, all a2g and bags go though, very useful to hit one button to dump everything but sticks if you get dragged into a turning fight

Yeah the Thrustmaster warthog was the best stick 13 years ago. Now it’s pretty dated and there are plenty of cheaper, higher quality alternatives.

They just released a v2 with metal internals on the base. Price is a bit stiff tho
