So after some nagging...I got the guys to implement a "flashlight" feature for cold and dark starts at night where you need to find switches. When I was flying in the MU2, we'd always fly at night and basically break out the flashlight as soon as we crawled inside....makes sense to do it in XP. We have both red and white versions. It's pretty cool! Kudos to Ben and Chris Serio....those guys are something else!

Nice Tom. Now talk Nils & any other heli devs to add a damn big controllable searchlight to their craft and it'll be even more fun at night!
