Although, on 2nd thought, I would download and play WarThunder or something similar, that'll get you very familliar with the sticks as well. Or any of the multitude of dogfighting games out there.

Also, should the WarThunder controls be the same as the anitmicro controls?

Does it typically require a decent amount of effort to move the joystick and especially the throttle? I feel like if I stop moving either for a bit, there's a decent amount of force or push required to get it moving again; almost as if the tension is on the heavier side.

There are "dead zones" so to speak, thats just something to get used to.

Has anybody heard of this new subset on the ASTB-E? My officer recruiter just called me and apparently as of this morning a brand new subset is being added. It’s a terrain orientation??? Not sure what to think of it. It will be the last portion of the PBM. I am taking it next week and have no information on it what so ever. Any information would be helpful. The ASTB-E will be still the same just with one more subset portion in the PBM. I asked what that means and consists of and he had nothing for me. WTH.

Yes, took it on Friday and had it. It came as a surprise to me. It is two google map pictures, one on the left is a reference picture with the top being North, then the one on the right is zoomed in a little more and turned you have to figure out then what way the UAV is heading. There is a compass at the bottom where you select the direction. You have 30 seconds to answer. Take all the time figuring out a method that works for you during the practice portion. I tried the compass trick, couldn't get it to work then just did it the old fashion way. I can give some tips that might've worked for me if anyone would like but take them with a grain of salt. I'm guessing this is used in either your PFAR, FOFAR or both. My PFAR was 8 and FOFAR 7. Ask any questions about it and I will try my best to help out.
