If you are not able to participate missions/training for some time, you can post your time of absence here if you like. No need to mention any reasons.

Not mandatory in any way!

I feel you guys deserve an explanation for my absence from flying at the moment. I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis which isnt getting any better and obviously affects my joints, ie wrist. I had been using a rather sticky Saitek pro 52 and just got a TM cougar + pedals which works fine apart from it being so bloody heavy. Its taken me a week already to set the thing up enough to use but am also finding it as, if not more difficult then the Saitek. I can't go back to the Saitek without having to explain to the wife why i spent £120 on some controls i'm not using lol. I think what i need is a group hug, but i'd settle for any ideas to make this thing lighter so i can fly online again...

Oh well courage guy. Welcome back.

I wish you to get better very soon, and I hope to fly with you asap, hugs.

Hi good people, I'll be grounded for some time while I get surgery to my left shoulder (where the hero always get shot) and then a bit of time for recovery. I'll be back as soon as I can operate a collective, for fucks sake.
