If I can show up on any given day, I will fly what's in front of me. I like them all, some more than others, but mostly I enjoy the "jaw boning" with the merry band of Dogz!

Once I have my new Pc, I'll start doing more than the exploratory work done so far. It will be a damn site easier to re create the missions from 9 lives in Clod, if i have the FMB open in both 46 and clod, on different computers side by side. Patience Chistoff!

I've currently got access to all four of these, but I'm pretty much completely off DCS as I don't find it particularly fun and given the various health issues I'm dealing with, an extra dollop of stress I can well do without. So, since I'm sticking to '46, CloD and BoX , I'd much prefer it if we didn't change too much especially as we have just made some major alterations and it might be sensible to see how that beds in for a few months first. Incidentally TF5.0 is about to go into closed Beta for CloD so that might make things more interesting once it's ready - might be a bit longer than two weeks though.

Sorry Arjen , I will try harder in future ! ? I just worry, ( maybe unnecessarily) that four sims might polarise our interests a bit. If the majority are quite happy with things as they are then bloody marvellous. Like Chris, I miss certain gits company on TS and I know the reason they might not be there is because they have chosen to fly different sims to me in their available time slots. Like wise I have chosen to fly GBS and 46 not CLOD or DCS ( for now..... ). It is great to see a resurgence in both numbers and enthusiasm which has to be down to fresh new challenges in whatever sim !

The A key works for me.... And I found this somewhere: Startup is simple, all commands to ground crew must have the canopy open. 1. Call up the Ground Crew and order Ground Power On (Default: 1. \ 2. F8 3. F2 4. F1) Ground Crew will respond "Copy... Ground Power is now On" 2. Press the Start button just aft of the throttle. This will begin the startup cycle, you have a limited time to execute the following commands; 3. When engine RPM reaches 5% RIGHT CLICK the Throttle 4. When engine RPM reaches 15% RIGHT CLICK the Throttle again. Failure to complete these two steps before 20% RPM will result in a failed start and the engine will cycle down, forcing you to wait to attempt the start cycle from the beginning. If this occurs mid way through startup, retard throttles to Idle and LEFT CLICK on the throttle until it is back in starting position, then go back to step 2. 5. Call up the Ground Crew and order Ground Power Off (Default: 1. \ 2. F8 3. F2 4. F2) Ground Crew will respond "Copy... Ground Power is now Off" You may now close your canopy and complete whatever other take off preparations you would like to, such as warming up the Radar and Nav computer.
