WinWing Hornet controls

[+streakeagle 871]

While my F-4 cockpit remains a work in progress, I have ended up with everything WinWing sells for a DCS F/A-18C Hornet cockpit. I don't use the stick, because I prefer the feel of the VKB Gunfighter and I have about 7 or 8 different grips I can use with that base. But everything else is WinWing. It isn't exactly a 1:1 copy of the real cockpit. But it is reasonably close and provides additional controls. The whole package makes a great generic modern fighter cockpit that is adaptable to almost any aircraft, particularly in DCS World. The MFD displays are natively supported in the F/A-18C, F-16C, AH-64, and A-10C. For some reason they did not provide an automatic profile for the AV-8B. With hardware like this available at a reasonable price, I don't see any reason to build expensive, custom replica cockpits that are optimized for one type of aircraft. I mainly fly in VR, so the MFD displays were a guilty pleasure (waste of money), but it is so cool to see the controls and indicators match the screen. If you have the money to burn and like flying modern jets and helos in DCS World, this is a fantastic setup.
