I think there is a very good case to be made for not making the community aware they were even building the next generation combat flight sim. I'm not sure the communities input is worth the trouble it also creates. This communities input would be more valuable after the initial release when the hard work is done and there is more time to make changes to a flexible game engine. But its said that even bad publicity is good publicity, and most of the angst will be forgotten if the initial release makes enough to validate continued work on the sim.
