I've been up since about 08.00 British summer time and as my wife is away for a couple of days I followed the following routine today:-

08.00 Get up.

08.05 Switch on PC, go to SimV forum, stay in forum all day whilst doing other stuff.

20.00 Go to work

22.15 Log on to Sim V forum.

04.45 Post this message.

My point is simple and aimed at the "discussion" in the FS2004 forum, and please remember that I have been following this for 21 hours straight.

 

Whilst we, and I include myself, are getting a little, shall we say "confrontational", real people are suffering in horrendous conditions.  We should be thankful that we can put this much effort into a computer GAME and let it take on so much importance.

For those of you that are happy with 2004, good, I'm glad.  Let us know why with a good balanced review of what it is you like.  For those of you that are dissapointed E-mail or telephone Microsoft and give them some official feed back.  We all know that M$ is aware of what happens on here but companies only really listen to the official complaints.  So complain, write to them every day until they answer you.  If you can afford $60.00 or £50.00 on a game you can afford a few quid postage.

I have posted this message because the "tone" of the place has seemed to lose some of it's friendliness today.  It is aimed at no individual or either of the groups mentioned above. 

If I have offended anyone, so be it.  Offence is not intended but it seems to have been taken more often than usual today.
