Hello Silverleaf
You really should see to getting rid of the gamepad and getting a joystick. Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is a cheap and pretty good one, add some extra $ to that and you could get the Saitek EVO Cyborg, which I think most of us have atm. Very good average price stick with lots of buttons and forcefeedback.
The flightime would be 4pm for you then, we usually fly 3 sorties, so even if you come an hour late, you prolly can catch us preparing for the 2nd sortie, depends how much time we spent on waiting ppl to join in.
EDIT: Neevermind the joystick part, I cant read.
