We have 2 choices,you stick with it and hope or it won't work,no point in fretting otherwise.

I think I will agree with Robert Watson-Watt , inventor of radar, who said something in the line of: I am easily satisfied with third best since second best is not yet available and first best never will be.

Watts invented the first practical radar-the 1st to be "mass" produced. Experiments in radar went back 50 years more. When CH designers went to industry to help "button it up," they were embarrassed to show that "third best." But it was absolutely effective and do-able at the large scale needed. Hanbury Brown later added "but don't give them the fourth best because it encourages them to throw the whole thing out."

The "Cliffs" developers have already done better than that. I'm a shameless eye-candy junky who never lasted past the opening bell of a dogfight. It's as though every decent virtual pilot could spot me and just got me out of the way to clarify the picture. "There he is. You take him this time..."

So, I just want English weather and my Tiger Moth.
