Mark my words when I told the Captain flying and the 1st LT. co-piloting that I could fly much better because I play Desert Combat single player missions. :D

It did make for some good laughs during the flight. :D

I hear the US Blackhawks are pretty much gutted of electronics down to bare minimum.

The ones the army fly here have the full package and therefore are always in maintenance. You couldn't fit another switch, light or gauge in the dash. :D

Ok bro will bring the sites to you :nod:

On a side note do you have UT99 or UT04 with you if you do will have to play a little, that is the only game i have found that latency is not much of a problem playing from over here.

Stay between the bullets, if you get back up this way.
