In ARM2, of course, not real life. And it wasn't as easy as you'd think. Flying ARMA2 is so much fun that I'm forgetting it's a shooter, not a flight sim!

nice! I wish Steel beasts had something like it!

Not a lot of room on that carrier deck.
Nice landing.

That's for sure. Fold up the wings as soon as you cross the ramp!

If it makes you feel any better, I flew the F-35 prototype sim to the boat...ARMA2 is harder!

What does the cockpit look like?

Well, that was at least four years ago and the whole contraption was in a state of huge flux. The layout looked like most of the available internet pics out there. About three big displays with a few standby gauges. Much of the info is displyed on the helmet itself. The stick was side mounted and F-16 like. The throttle was weird, like a hamburger with a knob on top.

The nice thing about the F-35 system vice the AV-8, is that the computer does much of the work so hovering felt alot more stable and controlled. Of course, this was a non motion, prototype sim. It almost certainly doesn't "fly" like the real plane.
