"not to be rude, but have you flown over England?" and flaunting their total lack of tact and understanding of the issues. Also, more importantly, a lack of understanding of what WIP and "development shots" mean.
People like philip.ed and Hecke and Tree should really understand their own limitations a bit more, and not think they can EDUCATE Oleg on the many issues involved in creating a world class flight sim.
Of course Oleg replies more to the annoying trolling than to polite well thought-out postings. The trolling follows the usual pattern of "your work is really quite crap, here is how you should do it". If it was me being told that, I too would reply to it before dealing with other postings.
It is just quite sad that impolite know-alls have totally taken over this forum and spam it just to pump up their +1000 post count...

Actually i disagree. Philip thinking he knows better might grind your gears, but his post is not rude. I too think he's way too pedantic sometimes over details that are trivial
to me. Obviously, they are not trivial to him and vice versa, some of the items on my wishlist might be complete non-issues to him.
So, who decides which one of us is "rude" and should "shut up", as so many people feel inclined to tell others on this forum lately? Maybe they think that playing "knight protector of mr Maddox" will result in a signed copy of SoW arriving at their doorstep a little sooner, who knows?
You see, polite or rude has to to do with the delivery of the message first and foremost and this we can argue about.
The actual content of the message however is not manner which conforms to certain established norms of social interaction, but a personal thing for everyone that's free to be shaped in accordance to their own preferences and called an opinion.
You seem to have a problem accepting different ones. That's the whole issue really, at least in my personal, non-rudely presented opinion
