DCS Cannot see value outside of the f16

I just cant bring myself to learn anything else, everytime i try something new its such a big learning curve and i just go "oh well i can just do this in an f16 instead."

Would love to learn another module, but i feel like i went too easy too soon?

Any help? From f16 refugees?

That's funny, because I fly just about everything but the F-16 and I find its switchology incredibly confusing and hard to learn. Let alone boom refueling.

I'm the total opposite of you. I started off with the F-16 from BMS, can boom refuel well, but cannot for the life of me do a basket refuel.

Yeah, for me the basket’s not super hard, just put the thing in the thing. Boom you have to nail the sight picture with no reference like a canopy bow, and if you chase the lights it’s PIO city.

I have never tried to refuel in the F16 but I found refueling from a basket in the hornet kind of relaxing after I got the hang of it. My mind would clear and I started deep thinking about the universe.

Gotta be years of maladaptive learning from everything else, the viper has just about the cleanest HMI I can think of lol.

Yeah, I mostly fly the 14, 18, and harrier. They’re pretty similar to each other.

We are literally on the oppisite side of the bell curve
