Crazy stuff.
Right, all I need now is the control room of a VIIC Uboat in my back garden and I'll be sorted  a few knobs and dials and we'll be well under way. Lol, all I need now to be like thosae guys is a long-suffering wifey to bring me tea and biscuits and to issue ultimatums when I'm considering that decommisioned submarine hull on ebay; a mere snip at £100,000 :rotfl:seriously, one of these sim guys was looking at a retired F18 to have in his back yard to connect up to his simulation kit  $45,000... whilst he was browsing he hears his wifes voice from over his shoulder "No way, absolutely not."
