I would honestly like to see you banned by IP. Would the Administrators apply the order? Anybody else upset by his antagonising and obtuse posts each week?

And here we go again. And I don't mean you, furbs.

Any more comments on the question regarding squadron codes?
This appeared to me as being something Mr Maddox might actually appreciate some comment on.

Moaning at someone who, in turn, moans about the game is just as bad. Be the better person and take a step above. If they really are so low, then don't stoop to their level

What I find interesting is Oleg never finishes a sentence with a ? mark.

That indicates to me he isn't asking, is he?

He provides updates and a little discussion. I don't think he is asking for anyone's input. The BOB SOW is on the downwind leg. Everything now is about refinements and de-bugging.

Oleg is just being a nice guy posting updates, because he enjoys his work and likes to share.

[philip.ed]

But he hasn't turned advice and information away, has he? The term 'discussion' exactly sums up these very topics. Discussion about the update which includes personal feelings. That's just my view on it though. No doubt others will differ in their opinions...

I'm "taking the bait"!!
I feel that I must say something on the "niggle" that appears to be dominating the content of this thread at the moment!
You know, it's really the MANNER in which things are said that can "hurt", irritate, upset etc others.
I am, I suspect, relatively old when compared to most of the members of this forum, and I must point out (at great risk of being told to "get lost") that criticism can be done and can be quite "palatable"IF it is done in a polite and constructive manner.
With respect to those who are drawaing "flak" for critical comments made, I respectfully suggest that you consider the MANNER in which you say things.
I'm aware that the world of today is VERY different from the world that I was brought up in - people are generally more selfish, less caring, less sensitive etc - I think that it's happening worldwide (eg TV reality shows thrive because they show someone being made a fool of, or being rejected by fellow participants etc) - it's a pity, but I think that we all being exposed to this side of things, and there's nothing we can do about it - however, let's try and leave it off this forum.
Oleg and his team are clearly producing a ground-breaking flight sim that is going to be way ahead of "the opposition" - apart from being grateful, encourage him and his team with constructive and polite criticism.
There ... I've got that "off my chest"!!

Did you actually read my original post before saying that I wrote something appalling? My first post was a simple question that I had posed to Oleg. There was nothing rude about it.

tbh that particular comment wasn't specifically aimed at you. if someone posts something appallingly childish etc etc

there's a ton of difference between constructive criticism and whiny griping about childlike landscapes.
