I'm not quite sure that insulting him was the correct response, especially from a moderator. Of course that's only my opinion.

Pretty cleary read it that way too - why are people now falling over each other rehashing old questions? Dear god, this is beyond embarrassment!

(or have I missed something)

- late edit: my support of the above quote went as far as the 1st line - I was not endorsing bashing moderators!

It is more easy to put the link to any of my answers that to show others, who repeat the questions or so...

Please.

Glad to see this post from you, Oleg!

I am appalled when I see the bickering, insults, and other violations of polite forum protocol in this forum.

Hopefully, people will respect your request.

Different countries have different laws, that's that, no problem. So the game will come without certain markings, no problem. I would like, preferrably, to be have a historically accurate sim. Would I like the publisher (developer etc) to take any risks in giving me that sim - no of course not, don't be daft. I wouldn't want a loophole where you change the config file here and there etc. What would seem usual, is that a game, whether it be racing cars, planes, whatever, would allow modders to change skins - a new paint job for Valentino Rossi's bike etc. That's not a loophole, that's common practice. If a modder then put graffiti on an object saying something offensive (swearing, race abuse etc), that would not be the fault of the publisher, and the same would go with markings. For example, what if you have a favourite pilot, that flew with a badge on his plane, and you had the artwork for that badge - does the game have to be specifically programmed to stop you adding any art, camoflage etc, just in case you added something else that you shouldn't have? That would be ridiculous. I'd personally assume the game will allow users to make their own skins, with camoflage etc, and if someone made something offensive, that wouldn't be the responsibility of the publisher.

Actually, the problem is he has no clue - but isn't aware of it.

It's a nightmare here.
Unfortunately those saying most are those with least to say.

+2 it's as I said somewhere in this thread, if we all just stuck to the topic, and maybe pointed members to an answer if Oleg answered the question, then everything would be fine Belittling members for asking questions is just not on (and least on the open forum). Clearly everything is fine as long as people stick to the topic in question.
I'm happy that Oleg has posted this. Hopefully if someone posts a seemingly silly, but relevent, question, members will PM them if they feel it rude or pointless rather than openly flame them; or allow Oleg to answer if he wishes which, at the end of the day, is the whole purpose of posing the question to him.

Maybe we need to set up a wiki style Oleg's answers page so it can all been seen in one place and then just add it to everybodies sigs
