Blackdog - I'll grant that you are right to a degree in describing the conclusions I reached before release as 'wishful thinking. My only response would be that it was still possible to do that because the situation was confused. If the devs had spelt it out instead of various (sometimes conflicting) voices in the community I would have come to a different conclusion.

My only real reason for commenting on all this was that I (and obviously others) felt that the OP and yourself were rewriting history to some degree. We'll have to agree to disagree I think.

My point in going over this was not to complain about the state of the game at release. It was just to disagree with the idea voiced that it was all perfectly clear at the time.

I agree with your views about the complex future-proofed features and the continual improvement and development of the sim and I'm looking forward to the upcoming patch.

Time to move on.
