Hey Dcunning30 nice to here from you. Yes it does bring some nice pictures. You know the best part is that it is free. Its been done for the love of this hobby.

I really appreciate their effort. It will bee a nice addition to our World war two Sim Aviation World experience.

Together with Combat flight Simulator 2 and all its addon improvement this will bee a great fun.

Just remember that Combat flight Simulator 2 is the only one that will represent the Pacific Theater in its entirely.

Thats a darn shame. The developers have chosen to ignore half of Word war two. A Theater that covered one third of the World at that time.

That means that there will never bee a carriers Ops in CFS3.

There will never bee.

You can also do all the European Campaigns of World war two through Combat flight Simulator as well.

All those great Campaigns will missing from your Program. You can only get them through Combat flight Simulator two.

Now together with CFS2 and CFS3 we should have lots of Fun.

Now Bear its better if you post this propaganda in the CFS3 forum where it belongs.

James,

...

It would seem you & Kermit the Frog have a lot in common in that's its hard being green.  Wink

Most people think the work in MAW is pretty good and are happy to see it, especially since most of the developers have moved on from creating a lot of the techniques being currently used in CFS2 as well as a lot of its 3rd party content.

...

Its funny how the guys who never really did anything much or contributed very little to CFS2 are always the most rabid fanbois'.  Roll Eyes

...

I guess such is the view of life from the sidelines, the water boys always seem to hate the other team way more then the guys in the game.

BTW to put things in historical prospective: the PTO covered a lot of geography but it was always a second tier effort on the part of the Allies.

The defeat of Germany was Job1 & in the US the PTO was called the "shoestring war".

The PTO's largest & most deadly battle was Okinawa. 182,000 US troops were planned to make the assault which started with 60,000 troops two Marine and two Army divisions invading the island defended by about 100,000 Japanese. 

D-day started with 130,000 troops 3 British, 1 Canadian & 5 US Divisions making the assault .

In the Battle of the Budge 600,000 US troops were involved as part of the 1,000,000+ men who fought in it on both sides.

Some 1,300 US ships surrounded the Okinawa & this grew to 1,600 ships but was way short of the 5,000 ships that were used on D-day.

Bears this has nothing with you acting lke a two year old. I"m just exposing how much more we will enjoy both this programs and what they can offer to the communitty. You made it clear to me that you are not interested in expanding CFS3 into the Pacific Theater on a previuos post on CFS3.

Well that fine, We have CFS2 witch enable just to that and a lot more. Thats not to say you Guys are not developing a pretty good addon for this communitty.

Now start acting your age. Perhaps twelve years old will be about right.LoL

You know this post should have been posted in the CFS3 forum not here.

But James, Even though it was clearly marked OT (off topic) its amazing that someone else even got a chance to post to the thread before you did. I just knew you would fall all over yourself trying to make one of your typical pointless comments.

Guess what?  I was right & that's so sad  Shocked

...

Nice thing is dcunning30 saw the post in the manner it was intended to be seen in.  Maybe a few other guys who really like flight sims will also enjoy seeing the work done on MAW.

Boy it seems I touch a sensitive subject with you. I have said nothing bad about the MAW project and there you go making personal attacks on again.

Let me explain something to you, Yes the war in Europe had priority over the Pacific Theater at the begining but as our resources improved we dedicated more and more personal and equipment to this war and it was not a shoestring oparartion any more. It was call a shoestring operation during Guadacanal only but not afterward. It was very important Theater of Operation as well. More than three million of our fought and died there.

You also got to remember that it was a total diiferent type of war. It was a Naval war more than a land war. The Biggest naval war zone ever in Modern time where they fought over the vast Pacaific Theater for control of the Far East.

It was a completely different war but a very important Theater of war as well.

You have to remember that the war in the Pacific ended prematurely by a experimental weapon that worked. If that had not happen it would been a lot more terrible than the invation of Germany in 1945.

We are still suffering from its effect. Just take a look at the Far East of today. Did you know that we are dealing with our most important petential enemy of the Furture because of the after effect of Pacific Theater. Yes I'm  talking about Communist China. Korea is also a residual problem from the Pacific war. You see this war is still haunting us today.

From a American point of view this war was our war and not the European Theater. For us the European Theater was a proffessional war while the Pacific Theater was our personal war. The European theater became personal when our troops reached the concentrtion camps in 1945 and we realize how evil the Nazis realy where.

I always been interested in World war two since I was a kid. I treat the war as a true World war. So to me its not about wish Theater is more important but taking this war on true its content.

Its not about Europe vs Pacific. It about Humanities story in a time when the World was in peril.

All I have said is with all that CFS2 and CFS3 can offer after you have finnished with MAW  it will make our Sim expience more complete.

Now you tell me, Can you duplicate any of the campaign I have mention before with CFS3 in the next year.

Interesting, Since the US military had 16 million men under arms I wonder were the other 13,000,000 men might have been.

Also, It would be very foolish to confuse what we can or cannot do with what we choose not to do.

BTW these CFS3 screen shots were made about 2 years ago in March 2004.

There we go again, huh?
If our heavenly father had blessed you with brain you would have read and understood the parts where it has been said that MAW is a massive, time-consuming project which is as of today - after two years of solid work -  pretty much work in progress.
It's not even done and out and you, who has never contributed anything, bother to bitch around and blame us for not making everything you want at once for your kind enjoyment?
Get a life!

Mathisias I never said anything negative about the MAW project. As matter of fact I waiting for it as well.

Here is what I wrote:I really appreciate their effort. It will bee a nice addition to our World war two Sim Aviation World experience.

Together with Combat flight Simulator 2 and all its addon improvement this will bee a great fun. Its only a Sim.

Keep it comming.

Its only a Sim. It seems every time I bring how good CFS2 is and how it be to fly in both this Sims that other member gets offended resort to offensive remarks about a fellow member. Now that is wrong.

Never say never James......

Maybe it'd be best to wait and see what these guys feel like doing next. They seem to be working chronologically from the stock CFS3, so maybe the Pacific would be the next step. You're putting them on the spot to ask for a timescale on the Pacific when they are putting their time into the Med.

These are many of the same people that developed so much of what is already available in CFS2, so it's not surprising that they would choose different things to work on. If you want to influence the next development then why not pick up the tools and start building?

I know Bear was anticipating your response, he has a wicked side Wink, but your tone is confrontational, comparing what will be in MAW with everything you believe should be. This isn't what they are working on at the moment. You'd be as well to criticise Marilyn Manson for not writing operas, or demanding a timescale for doing so, or condemning him for not committing to do so in the future.

Bear was showing his wares, let him. People don't need to 'remember that Combat flight Simulator 2 is the only one that will represent the Pacific Theater in its entirely'(sic), they know this already, and Bear wasn't claiming any different. You could say that CFS2 makes no effort to represent the battles of Star Fleet against The Borg, but that'd be pretty pointless as well.

I think it's great to provide constructive criticism on a work in progress, if it's all broadly within the theme of the topic. To tell someone they're working on the wrong topic is at best arrogant and at worst just plain rude.

Otis I"m sorry that  quote offended you. That was meant for another occation. Its was my mistake in posting it. That was from a previous post and a different issues that was dicussed a while back and in the CFS3 forum.

As for your comment that I implied that it  was a mistake to develope MAW project is totally erroneous. I"m very interest in every aspect of World two Aviation and MAW has been very poorly represented in the Sim world. So I"m very content that you pick the Mediteranean Theater as your next project addon.

This new addon will make our World war two experience more enjoyable. Now with all the upgrades done to CFS2 and all it can offer us we can together with other Sims available enjoy this hooby as we never thought ever possible in the past.

CFS2 offer those Theater that CFS3 cannot offer and the planes that are not available in other Sims. It makes up what other Sim cannot offer and vice versa. My point is for us to enjoy them for what they offer. Fly in every Airforce and with every planes available. Enjoy the Hooby with each other and particapate with whatever talent you may poses. But most of all respect each other all the time.

I want to thank all of you Developers for your contribution and dedication to this hooby.

Just remember this was a total World war and not a local war.

I'm not a developer, I'm a very light user.

I find your attitude strange. Why do you feel the need to keep reminding people of the context of the 'whole' war?

I've seen no evidence that anyone has made this mistake, just your assumption that they have.

To return to my previous, dubious, analogy; do you assume Marilyn Manson does not appreciate opera, just because he doesn't produce it?
