".....there really is no reason for those senseless falsifications, except a really dumb/careless audience is expected."

Which hits right on the truth, in my view. A box-office hit won't depend on a few thousand self-opinionated flight-simmers and their picky take on 'realism' or 'integrity' or any other long words. And, anyway, half of us will probably see it so that we can gripe about it afterwards.

No, they don't.
This is a Popcorn Movie - personally I don't care either, the planes can handle like Space Shuttles for all I care, so what?
It's just fun.
Some of you guys are truly sorry nerds. Get a life.

Is it really necessary to go out of your way to start attacking other people ad hominem simply because they have a different opinion? That's what destroys so many threads on so many forums. I'm surprised at this coming from a Senior Member of the forum.

They don't just have a different opinion, they try to force on the rest of the ppl.
In movies, tires even squeal on dust roads, that's wrong - so what?
Shoot a car tank and it explodes - so unrealistic!
Shoot a tire and the whole car drops 20inches, ouch.
...but it's fun, and sometimes even adds to the drama

It entertainment, simple as that. If I want to learn something the last place i would go to is the cinema. There TV channels like History Channnel and NG, made for exactly that.

Huh? As sorry as I am, but I dont consider myself part of this "community".
I have certain hobbies, interests - some ppl here seem to have the same, that makes it a good place to share infos and ask questions - but it doesn't turen those ppl into friends.
BTW: The usage of "ad hominem in this context is wrong, as I am basically attacking the majority of the readers.
