Nah mate it adds to the group knowledge if you do it on this thread.
I have been out of the business for 7 years now, its quite good having Saab and others as top cover for when I am talking bollocks.
What your trying to do is a medium level solution to a problem, its a proper fix not a bodge job. Nothing to be embarrassed about if it is not playing. There are quite a few IT highly payed contractors I used to work with who it would hit and miss chucking them the box and telling them to make it so.
Have fun in the sim.
PS I am in +3 timezone.
