We all want the same thing....Trust the Community...You are a known member of it. We all should support each other and this venue.

The operative word is?
All of us to pull together.

Thank You

Mistaken? I've never suggested the sim was in a good state. I've only suggested that the future isn't as bleak as some would have us believe. Exactly how does a few people constantly repeating the same complaints, that everyone and their dog were aware of from the beginning, make things better, or bring the community together. You know as well as I that some people will never see the forest for the trees. Who knows they may eventually be right, as it wouldn't be the first time an air combat development failed. It just irks me when its a group of combat flight sim enthusiasts like us who got together to form Maddox Games that was successful for years bringing us quality products and we turn on them at the first sight of blood.

No hand-wringing here, or bell-wringing come to that...no moaning...no warnings. And unwashed? They must love you...

Just countering your self-appointed position as high-priest of the inside track, reader-in-chief of the Clod dev tea-leaves, and all-round attacker of anyone who dares question your version of events.

Why aren't you playing the game instead of posting here all the time? This is known as a 'doing a Frey'. It is probably in the dictionary by now.

>>but I doubt it. I suspect in another five years you will still be here, the development will be going strong, and you will be moaning about some obscure feature in the sim that doesn't suit your version of history. <<

'Will'....'will'...'will'....your beloved future tense, where everything is soft and hazed with petals...and unknowable, and unreachable.

How about the thing crashing to the desktop with a loud thud every half an hour or so? Dynamic weather? Dynamic campaign? Or even no jaggies?

Do you have well-developed lower body strength from wading through these metric tons of rose-petals lying a foot thick wherever you walk?

I bet the dog sneezes a lot....

Rubbish. You roundly attacked abyone ventured any doubts even as it emerged with several decapitated features.

>>I've only suggested that the future isn't as bleak as some would have us believe. <<

Rubbish. Stop going on about the damn future, try the here and now. You must sit down and eat sometimes or have a crap. It can't all be in the future. Or if it is you must have a serious look of hunger and/or constipation.

And that poor dog, still sneezing throiugh all those rose-petals, crashing into walls....

>>Exactly how does a few people constantly repeating the same complaints, that everyone and their dog were aware of from the beginning,<<

It's that dog again.

Yes, just a few complainers. What, no more than 5?

>> make things better, or bring the community together.<<

Liek you do? Some are allergic to so many rose-ptals

>>You know as well as I that some people will never see the forest for the trees.<<

Yup. It's all those damn rose-petals getting in the way.

>>Who knows they may eventually be right, as it wouldn't be the first time an air combat development failed.<<

It failed on release, and it's still failing. That is the problem. It needs to fail better (sorry Beckett)

>>It just irks me when its a group of combat flight sim enthusiasts like us who got together to form Maddox Games that was successful for years bringing us quality products and we turn on them at the first sight of blood.<<

Yes, just enthusiasts with good intentions and bonhomie and the good of humankind at all times. It's those damn rose-petals. never mind that you can be as petty and vindictive as the rest when you hear something you dont like (minus five rose-petals). And how dare you be called on it. Funny, hayward, Aces, carguy, Robtelk et al all have the same reaction.

The Maddox Games you knew, and worshipped, is dead and gone. Deal with it.

I will even buy you some bin-liners for all those rose-petals. The dog will just have to re-learn how to get around.
