in such context you are a rude little boy who should have his mouth washed out with soap and then have his Internet access revoked for 30 days.

oleg doesnt owe you (or me) ANYTHING. he is however a flightsim enthusiast who has made a great previous sim and deserves our support and constructive input to help him make the best future sim he possibly can. he is however working with a small team under difficult circumstances and with limited resources, and "just because you want it" doesnt magically make 30 million dollars fall out of the sky for him to use during development so he can compete with big bux console type gaming houses (who make products that last 3 months after which the ADD kids need something new to play with).

oleg is our only and last best hope for a great new realistic ww2 SIMULATOR, and for that he deserves all our constructive support and deserve to have people communicate to him in a civilized way.

A good friend of mine is a big fan of PS3 games (and also WW2 aircraft) so I bought him WoP when it came out. 3 months later he phoned me up to say how cool it was, and that he'd played "all the levels"(?) and when was the sequel coming out? It's worth noting that he is forty years old, not exactly a kid, so it is definitely the console experience that is biased towards "get it, play it, bin it" credo. The guy is not stupid - it's just that his lifestyle is not geared to a pricey PC and all the kit that is needed to fly one.
