Eh, ILS is easy, and you've got those extra 2 engines there anyway, go do a DME arc and we'll talk, especially on the 747-100 with the actual instruments, as opposed to those new fangled -400s with the glass everywhere.


Hog is also fairly simple, powerful, but not difficult to learn. Provided you have the basic understanding of how a lighting console works, you should be able to learn it. I went from 0 hog time to running a small show of 96 dimmers and 6 Mac 2ks on a Hog2 PC in like 2 weeks.

Try to get the console early and just sit with one mover in a dark room and have some fun.

Side note, what kind of rig is this? A handful of scanners is going to be easier to deal with then 10 universes of VL3500s.
