They said these are the major bugs:

the things that are the current "known issues" are:
· No dynamic low-caliber hit decals showing on aircraft;
· Detached aircraft chunks losing their texture and becoming pitch-black;
· Little particle "dust" that comes out of weapon hits looking like untextured squares;
· 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.

I think that some of these are quite major- messed up gunsights and bad textures on damage would make the work look very unfinished. I've seen untextured particles in an otherwise finished game and it is very offputting ( think it was the flames in Team Fortress 2 flamethrower- lots of little squares that ruined the overall impression).

it's frustrating enough waiting, while some of us can do it patiently like adults, sharing the journey with screaming kids gets tiresome.

I don't know if you have kids Bongodriver but generally, if you are going to drive an extremely long distance you should take breaks and do something to appease the kids or they will carry on. Mind you, if I drive adults an extremely long distance I also have to expect that they won't stay quiet and patient if I don't take breaks and do something to other than continuous driving.

Ridiculing someone with a mental illness is not acting like a adult. In fact it was the worst post ive ever seen on these boards.

I also agree Fruitbat. Had a similar argument with a subordinate of mine at work. My method is to ask nicely, trying to build a rapport. His is to annoy the beegeezers out of someone until they conform. His does work but burns the bridge. Mine takes longer but keeps the bridge open for next time. I don't think it's a maturity issue.

I tend to agree Furbs. I've never driven my kids to a destination that takes 14 months so I cannot comment whether they would carry on with, "Are we there yet?"
