He was in the MA this night.  Long absence, good to have him with us again.

Some have more issues than rust..... in MNM this past Monday Night I noticed I was having issues trying to talk on the tuned channel...thought my 8way hatswitch was worn out (pro throttle is nearly 25 years old)

Got in the MA later and figured out it was not any issues with my hotas..... it was my hands and dexterity messing with me

Just put my instruments down after 4+ hours of finger picking trying to get some muscle memory and dexterity back in my fingers and hands....had a great time...with a little help of Jameson in my Death wish coffee ☕😅🙃

Gonna try and keep at everyday so I can be 1/2 way good in the scenario this weekend

Batfink  pm me and I will give you my best to knock the rust off in the MPA or TA....

Glad ya back

TC, I had similar issues  :rofl  For me it really feels like the first time I logged in and having to start all over again.  I mean, I even forgot to set my convergence in the hanger  :bhead  Not that it mattered, I don't think I have managed to get rounds on anything other than a few manned guns in the few sorties I've squeezed in.

Would love to get in the TA/DA for some good fights. It's all Xargos' fault.
