Well to be perfectly frank with you, Dobs, I was sitting back with my box of popcorn waiting for the purses to fly. Dawger's teflon/asbestos suit is ample protection from the attacks! ~GRIN~
I jest.
I was in the MA Saturday night and had a de-escalating conversation with Blu about his comments on CH100. He was insisting that Dawger was the sole responsible party for the FMs, along with other things about the S3s.
I responded that it was NOT Dawger who unilaterally changed the FMs, but a team effort on which our very respcted and much adored Jugggo was a part of. If any conspiracy theory exists, Jugggo would be the last person on a list of conspirators. I also added that I was privy to some of the material and that it looked pretty good and was well researched. I think he understood what I was saying...at the very least, there were no more inflammatory comments on 100 for that evening.
All that said, I can totally understand his frustration with the FMs and how we got steam-rolled in Frame 1 AND moreso in Frame 2 of BHP. Moreover, if one already has a beef and experiences the ass-raping we had last frame, it is easy to see his frustrations and anger. I am not excusing any personal attacks - as aged gentlemen, we should not sink to pimply-faced teen tactics or antics. But I am different than most in my approach to discourse in this, our shared passion.
Aside - I think your (plural) FM work is top notch. I wish I was able to contribute more to the team, but you all have it well covered. That said, I think you all may want to consider (reconsider) the transparency of your work and those who datamine, build, test and distribute. I think there needs to be some method to relay the changes to the masses that is intuitive, logical, with explanation and most importantly, cited. I think if everyone knows that the changes are team driven and TEAM APPROVED...and that the team is not exclusive to Pony Mafia or LIghtning Jocks, we would see more positive receptions to the changes. Of course...Lennon was castigated for his 'imagine'.
Often times over the years, I will take a week or two and play the game as if I was totally new - devoid of any bias towards man OR machine. During these times, I fly planes I normally would not - Spit IX, Hurricanes, FM2, F4U1, Curtiss or even a Boeing. I think of it as a sorbet that freshens my Axis palette. I also look at country and 100 channels to gleen from it the personalities of players and new players and the opinions on the aircraft. I think the average and the new players are frustrated by the changes and their lack of communication. We cannot rely solely on the forum to make the announcement. Another thing I have noticed is that there is limited detail on the planes, AND the denziens in the arenas will only spew their bias opinions on them.
I may have been guilty of this in the past - heck I may do it again the future. But I do know this...most of the BS on CH100 and in the S3 channels can be eliminated if there is a method to communicate the changes, features and behaviors of the models. As we currently stand, the message is not getting around.
Enough rambling...my ADHD needs controlling at times.....SQUIRRL!

Yes we have many new changes and some I like and some I don't--but I'll be ok--IT's a frapping game-so, if you don't like it go to Game store and buy a plug & play. I for one, want to say thanks to the people that strive to improve our sandbox we so enjoy! Just an FYI, GoFly...the Original Poster is flying on the Ass Kicking side - not one from the side that drew a bad ride. Ni Yen.

Perfect World we would have a pretty datasheet to publicize for the world to see... not enough help to make that happen as of yet. Nice post tho Saka. PS Remember Truk S3? Y'all have done a good job of keeping the community in the loop. Some will read the stuff and some won't but you have no control over that. We do appreciate all the hard work that has gone into and will continue regarding the latest updates. FYI, I tried the A6M2 in the MA last night and it is definitely an improvement. It is also not a major pain in the ass to get used to the lack of trim control, just a matter of familiarity and practice. I look forward to trying the KI 61C. <S>
