thanks guys...was fun. twenty seconds, sheep, Painless' awkward advances, nonsensical violent threats...just like old times. was great to see so many familiar names. and familiar unintelligible accents. off for work tomorrow for a week , but should be able to join next Sunday. will have bodenplate by then. maybe consider airstarts for just the Sunday till i can get game better figured. look forward.

So.....I won't have to stop wearing my wife's underwear whilst flying will I?

Dave, Sid has pretty much summed up my thoughts before I had chance to reply. If you fly with the small coloured triangle mod (is that what you mean by “small dot mod” ?) then excellent, that is what I would like to think everybody uses. Getting rid of the standard “radar” early warning on the map and name and distance icons really does level the playing field because as Sid says you don’t know who is flying the enemy planes you spot, you don’t even know if it’s a breather or AI initially . I don’t have everything turned of for full real yet like Sid because I would find that to be a guaranteed way of being shot down every time without seeing a thing, ( and that would be no fun either). Like a handicap system such as in golf the less accomplished, (by that I mean old, blind, deaf or returning to flying after a long break), have the “Wonder Woman” standard settings and the more accomplished have more challenging settings, that is fine because it makes for a good and fair competition. What you can’t have is the top boys using easy settings to dominate. That would be unsporting. I think (correct me if I’m wrong Sidly) that is what Sid is getting at ?
