Maybe the nacelles were interchangeable, so they had the instrument cut-outs in both sides? I don't know if this was historically the case, just a thought since it would make sense for ease of maintenance.
As for the quality of discussion here, i'm not even going to talk about the actual features, what we've been shown or not, or speculate about what will or won't be in the game.
The reason i won't is that most of the problems don't originate in people having different opinions, that's just fine. The problems come from people failing to realize that it's not what you think and say, but HOW.
Do i want to criticize something? Do i dislike something? Or do i disagree with the people who criticize and dislike things because i think nothing needs improvement and team Maddox are the gods of Olympus?
Fine, i can go ahead and
tell the rest of you about it. I just don't have to scream and flail around like a headless chicken to make my point, because i'm not too bored to properly formulate an argument. People who usually go all dramatic on our a$$ are the ones who make the shortest posts, look around and you'll see it's true for the most part. The reason is that they want to make their point while typing as few words as possible and how can you do that? Easy, by using three or four "heavy" words instead of ten "normal" ones to add that "it must be true" tone to the argument, by which point a poster from the other opinion camp with equally poor posting habits will take the bait and gloriously rise to the occasion, and the circle continues
Case in point, the now famous quote from a few months ago. Instead of saying "the grass colour needs a bit of fine-tuning, here are my references" and provide some links (but hey, this means googling stuff up, those 10 precious seconds required to find 5 pics of British cow-grazing territory is too much work!), someone said "this looks like a children's drawing" and left it at that. In this case the guy honestly feels the grass needs tuning and it's just fine, he's entitled to his opinion, he wants to convince us, but he's too bored to actually tell us why (which begs the question "why should we care if doesn't care enough to tell us why", but that's another topic), so what does he do? Worry not, for here comes the drama to the rescue of the conversationally challenged! Then, a high priest from the church of Oleg will come along to banish him to simulator purgatory and the usual circle-j*rk antics begin anew
See, i can be a pungent, ironic b@stad as well. Having read this post up to this point, think about how it makes you feel about me and how it makes me look. Congratulations, you now know how you look to the rest of the forum
The bottom line is that some of you guys must learn that if you want people to take your opinion seriously, you'll have to type actual sentences and maybe even paragraphs in order to take out the "rough around the edges" feeling of a potentially disagreeable or criticizing post. Sorry, but one liners don't cut it for meaningful discussion and constructive criticism.
What's funnier is that the one-liner crowd are also the first to take offence to other people posting the same way, even when it's clear that it's due to a language barrier and the use of online translators, where it's actually ok to cut the poster some slack.
