AboutLate 2024 saw the launch of MSFS 2024, making it an apt time to re-engine the MiGPit. With over 5,000 hours of reliable flight time from my HP OMEN 25L it was a no-brainer to stick with the HP moniker.

AboutI have used 5 of these as MFDs in the MiGPit since 2021.

AboutAdded to the MiGPit in 2020. By late 2023 the Warthog stick developed a loose wire / contact somewhere in the stick, resulting in random control inputs and view changes. A little bit annoying, especially on finals. I repurposed the Warthog throttle as a lighting (and other) control panel on the right side of my 'pit, so it lives on for a few years more.
