I wasn't referring to you in particular, there's a lot of people here which make silly assumptions. You motivated your concerns better and I suggested you a possible solution, my reaction is annoyed and a bit rude maybe because it keeps on happening on this forum.

Good luck with the flying lessons, it will open a new world and answer a lot of questions.

Sternjaeger, i understand the repetition gets you annoyed, it annoys me too. On the other hand, if we go about "shouting" at the new-comers for not knowing how the place works they just get a sour taste and no positive experience from their first exchanges in the forum, which leads to a continuation of this trend.

If on the other hand we just tell them "the short answer is X, but please use the forum search as this has been talked about before" they are more likely to do something similar when another new poster appears with the same question, thus reducing the overall levels of repetition and taking over the burden of "teaching" the forum's netiquette from us

No offense meant, after all a lot of times i agree with what you say and you also have useful stuff to share due to your real-life experience with warbirds. I'm just saying that if we "hold their hand" through for a couple of posts they will probably get the meaning of how this place work even easier. Cheers

Blackdog, my friend, thank you, and trust me, I agree with you, I believe in the "let's take em around hand in hand and show em how it works here", and I know I'm a bit caustic and short fused, but it's all in the presentation sometimes. And yes, many things can get lost in translation, but I eventually gave what I reckon was a constructive suggestion to our new friend, which I hope he will try and will prove useful, whilst receiving a hailstorm of insults by newbies who weren't even part of the conversation..

I'm trying hard to be a better person, but sometimes it feels like starting a diet in a cake shop..

I don't mean to be rude but it's really annoying, please stop the "chit chat".

Please don't tell people what to do within the confines of forum rules. The "back" arrow at the top of your browser is a much more amenable solution to your annoyance.

Thanks!

For sake of clear topic of Q & A keep on the track of that topic.

Like I said before:
Furthermore. The planes in airshows (I m sure) are not loaded with weapons, and probably not with full fuel tanks either to allow for better maneuvering. So the planes in airshows might actually be a lot lighter than it feels in the game because of all this missing wait to meet airshow standards.

I know you can definately feel the difference in Il-2 1946 when you fly an airplane with 100% fuel + ammos, or 25% fuel and no ammo! I don't see why that wouldn't be the case in CloD.

Cheers and have fun on this forum + simulator.

Just a little something to consider
