It is not just to do with which buttons (valves) you press, it is also to do with the tightness and pressure of your lips on the mouthpiece. For example if you started playing a note and tightened your lips on the way up, you would get a number of different notes whilst holding down the same keys.
Has to do with your lips and the emboucher ... that is how close or far apart the lips are when blowing.
Thumb
Open. no valve pressed down.
Both have their trouble areas. With trombone, it's all about developing muscle memory to find the correct slide positions. With horn, what gets tricky is close partials in the overtone series, where the same fingering can be used for many notes, or one note can be played several different ways.

1)Get a fingering chart 2)buzz mouthpiece 3)make music
You would change your embrochure to hit the notes.

If you have a single horn, it's fingers 1 and 2 for A natural, and fingers 2 and 3 for A flat. If you have a double horn, you can add the thumb key to open the B flat side of the horn.
French Horn because of the fact that there are different fingerings for a single note and many different types on notes. As a really good tuba player, I have to give it up to french horns. The slightest move of their embouchure can make their notes spiral out of control.
French horn is very hard- and that is both an advantage and a disadvantage. It is hard to learn and the music can be challenging to play, but many directors, composers, and colleges favor french horn over many other instruments because of its unique tone quality and sound. Scholarships are widely available to french horn players because it is such a hard instrument to master. It is a hard instrument to play because the space between notes of the same fingering, called partials, are very close together, making it hard to tell which note is being played. It also takes a lot of air and embouchure strength to play high notes, and even more air to play low notes. Another disadvantage is if you blow to hard your lungs and heart explode
How do you make a trombone sound like a french horn? Put your hand in the bell and play all of the notes wrong. This is coming from a horn player, btw
The French Horn actually originated in Europe and has been around for quite a while. In the beginning, it had no fingerings and was played by buzzing different notes, which could also be tuned by the moving of the hand inside the bell. Then the Germans invented the valve system, and fingerings were introduced to the horn. Of course, Americans call it the French horn.... Anyway, the French Horn is a unique instrument enjoyed in orchestras all over the world. :)
