man that's brutal... It's 40 F here in CA, and I can barely stand it.

Hey -- I am having a hard time getting my fingers to deal with the dang sticks. Any pointers? thumb, or Thumb and index?
This is all on the FMS sim, mind you. I got pretty good on the keyboard, but with the radio.... feels like 2 left hands.
It's trip though. No more like driving a car. 4 real axes. you actually noodle with the throttle? Preposterous. AND us the rudder?? Impossible. Yay, learning curve, here I come!
