Be honest with yourself. UK people are at least second best no matter where they go. Not just on here! :D :D :D :D

There are a lot of UK and European users on here and they get help just as fast as USA users. Maybe you are not taking into account the time difference. Often I get help even on Sundays from staff at Centroid. For sure with Suntravel any time of the day or night. He is in Germany as am I.

Parameter 3 is also set by the Wizard in the tool touch off menu.
