Haven't had a chance to even try the sim seriously myself, but this clever teccy wallah seems to have produced a great mod to help performance:

A shrink could put his kids through college studying you!
No. 2 daughter is going to Uni to read Psychology, could she have Woof as a test case?
Or No. 1 daughter reading Animal Behaviour  be more appropriate?

Hangar 1 / Re: That Condor Moment...

To throw this discussion into reverse, so to speak; last squad I was in had a chappie who flew for Delta in the US who was the most awful (on his own admission) virtual pilot...always landing with gear up or stalling and what have you....his reasoning was he had bells and whistles and gizmos to warn him, or a chap in the other seat to do these things for him.
However we also had some  ex-military pilots (one flew Meteors, another was ex-army) who were no better than chaps who had never flown before when staring out in sims & online.

Squadron Recruitment / Re: I say chaps

'lighting a pipe with an open canopy' this of course includes the 'moustache care in high winds' module.'
Yes need to get the hang of that....set fire to the old tash when the match flared up in the slipstream last time I tried it. Rum do.

Anyway chaps, thanks for the welcome. Got to whip out the old stick and give it a polish (why is matron looking at me like that?) and thrash blindly about the sky for a while afore I attempt online again. Anyroadup got to finish the bungalow I've (semi) retired to otherwise the Memsahib will have my guts for garters. Place was in a time warp; should of just given it to the National Trust and have done with it. Nearly finished if I survive. I'm afraid I'm most awfully accident prone....don't feel a job is done properly umless I've bled all over it.

New cub eh Badger old chap? if you need any gen I'm your man, having had four meself, 2 of each though a while ago. Teething yet? I found a drop or two of gin or laudanum on a nice soft lead dummy soothes the little mites. :)

What with 26th March the date for cabbage crates coming over the briny; bally tenpenny
ones dropping in the custard, I'm bursting to have a crack at Jerry again.

Been out of the sim for a while due to personal difficulties.
Back on form now; problem is, squad I was in has:
a) gone Sausage Side
ii) started taking things a bit too seriously.

So casting about for a new shower, I wondered if I might tag along with you chaps.

Crisp oncers in a brown envelope tucked behind the cistern 4th stall Victoria Station
Gents for you is the usual form I believe.
