+100

Is there a moderator here that could cut this thread down to a manageable 20 relevant pages?

And a serious question (if anyone can find it) Can someone tell me if Oleg has a 'cutoff point' of say 2 days or 10 pages which he just doesn't go beyond, trawling through all the irelevant stuff looking for our questions? We could hardly blame him. If so I won't have to waste my time reading through them either.

ElAurens, at the risk of padding this thread even more, I just got fed up with trying to find a needle in this haystack. It's a discussion about the 'Dev update' and I reckon more than half of it has become about other issues. Please forgive me if I don't trawl through it again to see if your posts are on-topic.

I suppose I'm expecting too much on an open forum where some people can't resist the temptation to repeatedly argue that they are right on every point (like we didn't understand them the first time) and then throw in their off-topic garbage of choice. I've chaired enough meetings where they would simply have been censured or kicked out, but forums don't have chairmen.

<sigh> Maybe I'm just getting too old.

RoF was initially brought up in order to compare what that flight sim does with grass rendering vs. what we are seeing in SoW. The idea was to encourage Oleg to do something similar. It was a valid point in that context. There was no intent to start a general discussion about that sim here.

Unfortunately, it then veered off topic when one member started making inaccurate statements about RoF. Normally, that could be ignored, but as this is a flight sim forum and there is always some cross-interest in other sims, it needed to be addressed. His overall condescending and insulting attitude only fed the discussion.

But I agree, one's personal feelings about sims other than SoW have no place here. And, unless we are comparing what another sim does to what is done in SoW, they have no place here either.
