Some considerations about the FM purists...

[Sven]

Totally disagree with the OP.

If you want historical inaccuracy there's those thousands of other games for you to play, this specific genre of flight sims is aiming to make you able to get as close as possible to a state that you can relive what actually happened in WWII. Technology is however limiting us, but whatever we can get correct, must be correct. There are very reliable sources all over the web, actual prints from factories, numerous flight reports, with that material you can make Flight Models. However sometimes mistakes are made ( Like back in school, no matter how hard you studied you never got all test 100 %, at least I didn't. ) and regular forum folk is trying to make an effort to correct it, or shed some light on issues. They often get addressed as whiners, or waffles or whatnot, usually by folks who do not know all to much about the subject or simply do not care, which highly annoyes me and makes the progress of such efforts very tiresome.

So in short, the never ending discussion about the FM/DM has in fact use, and developpers do listen, I've seen it many times and it's up to them what they do with the presented information.
