Stop being so sensitive.
I have every right to my opinion without you bursting out like a lawyer, thank you.

And I never said that FSX will be crap. If you can quote me saying that, be my guest.

But you really dont get it, do you?
What has been MS FS drawback for ages, has not been addressed. Instead we get feed screenshots of birds, boats and some other irrelevant mumbo-jumbo.
And if FS X had a new groundbreaking engine, wouldn't you think that MS would really talk about that? I would.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather see realistic ground effect than a flock of seagulls.

But I will buy FS X instead, simply because off the addons, that makes up for the drawbacks of the sim.

Well I'm bloody sorry but whenever I have put a massive effort into a plane or any of the teams I've worked with over the years all we get is people bitching so I feel I have a right to put my opinion across. Part of the reason I switched to payware was because if you are going to have someone complain about your work you may as well get paid for it.

And for crying out loud, if you think that FSX will be crap, then don't buy it and stop whining. Do you have any idea how much effort the M$ developers have put into creating this sim? I don't know either, but I can bet my butt that the effort was massive

I will "whine" thankyou very much this sim forms a large part of my time and income so it would be nice if M$ would help us developers that help them to sell so many units of the product. The same goes more so for freeware developers they deserve a mountain of respect for M$ for making their sim so popular without wanting so much as to add a plane to the sim.

I may offend you with this and I may get in trouble but at the moment I don't care. I don't pretend to be on some sort of moral high-horse because much more talented people have contributed more to the sim for much less than I.

I am not a happy bunny.

(I may regret posting this tomorrow)

I understand your argument and you have total right to express your opinion. What the others are trying to say is dont put it down till you have used it. Maby phisics will be same as fs9 but oh well. We will love the new stuff added in and the developers will leran about a new engine if they have to. The default looks so good (to me) i am willing to wait a year for a quality add-on.

Now for you "the default looks like my fs9 now!" imagine now you have spent money on fs9 payware to make it look like this right? I am quoting from someone on avsim or here i dont rember, "If $100 worth of addons for fs9 looks like FSx, imagine FSx with $100 worth of addons." so till the sim comes out, please just shhhh. and dont complane just yet, we have a year till it comes out.

There are many open issues on FSx and it will have to wait a year. Like "all there showing is eye candy!" well duh thats how you get something sold at first. Its not easy to show flight dynamics in a picture or in words. There has only been 1 video that i know of out and the chopper in it looked like it had better dynamics to me so we will just have to wait for more reviews or untill it comes out.

So hold your arguments for awhile untill it comes out. Like the US government, a body in argument ceases to work corectly, so lets keep things friendly around here and stop your bickering!
