>>Oh I'm sorry for that Ben, I am embarrassed to have to admit from a previous post I mentioned the possibility I have mild dislexia, the truthfull shame is it is true, as you can imagine it is a heavy cross to bear in the presence of such admiring people. <<

While I might cynically doubt the truth of this from others, or think that they might be speaking for effect or sympathy - or be suffering from moral or emotional dyslexia - all such doubts are pushed aside when I see your name attached to the post. How brilliantly you overcome your impediments, without rancour or bitterness.

it's true I havn't been as open about my condition like raaaid perhaps, for this I am ashamed.
does this mean were not friends any more? I will get a full check from a doctor if you like, just please don't leave me.

Thankyou for the update Blacksix, personally I do not believe promises broken for good reasons are anything to be ashamed of as long as the lesson is taken in stride and stakeholders are duly informed (as you have done).

Life is an uncertain and fallible thing. We should not make it more so. When setbacks occur and are taken in stride under the best of intentions, that to me is worth far more than careless perfection.

Perhaps your help with the community has taken its toll? Perhaps you could see a psychiatrist at the same time as the doctor? As long as you post here, in the manner in which you do, I will be here to help (and in case they doubt my support, I'm happy to extend this to David Hayward, Aces, Wolf Rider, Freycinet, Chivas and others). I believe, as you do, that this forum is a much greater place, with your presence as its chief asset lately.

Oh thank you Ben, I'm not sure I could have coped without you in my life, I had never considered my symptoms of bad spelling, unreadable handwriting, the family history of the condition as a form of mental illness, unlike most people your ever sharp wits have seen through my general lucidity for the retarded fraud I really am, with your help I'm sure I can fight my way through this.

Forever yours

· Gunsights always white in color;
· No waypoint lines rendered in map or FMB;
· Pilot and Plane models not rendering textures in Options - Pilot and Options - Plane respectively;
· DX9 support not ready for public consumption.

Thanks for the Info B6, very sad days especially seeing the list.

I have no doubt that you guys will get there in time, but personally I'd like to see less of the "we almost had it this moring but..." type statements, your bug list shows extensively the opposite of almost being ready.

Good luck guys, dont give up.
