Cheers Snafu - will give those a whirl.

Couldn’t see a blinking thing when you were calling out contacts last night - either graphics settings need adjusting, or my eyesight is failing!

NB: Note to self - don’t follow FW190 in near vertical dive in a Spit V - it will only end in tears…

I was late in warning you. It took me to long to see that the strange looking aircraft was not a Tiffy with bombs or a Mossi, but a very slow me262

Well, I got away unhurt… it’s just a sim, fortunalely.:wink:
