Believe it or not, I fly the A-10C (DCS Sim) the most of all the aircraft that I’ve purchased. And the flight hardware (HOTAS System) you see in the pic is the A-10C from Thrustmaster.

When I was in the USAF back in the early 80’s we had A-10A’s flying with our unit all the time.

Just kidding I couldn’t resist the metaphor.

Kidding aside, I’m really hoping this doesn’t repeat itself in the future. It sounds like a major inconvenience and just a total PITA.

CMOS!?! I haven't heard that acronym in years.
