During the course of this thread i've seen people jump up and flail around like headless chickens claiming the patch screwed everything up, then post a couple of posts down the line saying that everything is fine.
There's a bunch of FAQs and all sorts of guides around, but i get the feeling nobody bothers reading them. Apply the patch, clear the cache folder, restart you PC and run the sim, standard procedure by now for all patches and that's why i see improvements with every single patch.
The pitch issue has been adequately explained, how it should work, what the sim tries to model, how it works on a slider, how it doesn't work when using buttons, back around page 14. Yet, the issue still keeps coming back and most of all, without sufficient explanation and in some cases with conflicting statements, adding confusion.
We're going around in circles here, let's make an effort to keep things consistent and the information easy to find. It's in our benefit to do so, because it makes it easier for the devs to see what works and what doesn't so they know what to focus on.
I know some of you are frustrated with the sim, but there's also a lot of people who make useful contributions becoming frustrated with having to explain the same thing over and over again in multiple threads, which hardly anybody reads and in the span of less than 10 posts they come up with inaccurate information about the exact same subject.
Some of us here should stop acting like they're jumping into a room where they're granted an audience to receive answers in the form of chewed foor and start being a bit more proactive in how they look for information, being polite to the people one is asking for help doesn't harm either. If one out of every five people jumps in repeating the same thing over and over again and taking the thread in circles it's counter productive for everyone, including himself.
I'm not trying to be a smart*ss here or play backseat moderator. I'm trying to say that there are easier and more efficient ways to maintain our knowledgebase of issues and tweaks for the sim. So please, read back a couple of pages before you post, 90% of the time you'll find the answer you need.
