This is great, here was me thinking it was the developers fault that MP sounds don't work, the AI crashes into the ground, radio commands don't work, buildings pop up, the qmb is worse than il2 etc etc and it turns out it was my computer all along!

Personally I think people using the offensive term 'whiners' when talking about paying customers should get the same penalty as people using other offensive language here.

I remember IL2 we had sounds that did and didn't work. We had AI crashes into the ground as far back as I remember. One patch would fix another would break it again. Anomalies were on and off as well throughout the life of IL2.

I think whiners is an excellent word.

Maybe you could give us a better word, that won't offend paying customers. I went to the movie the other night, half the people were whining when they were talking among themselves on the way out. Others were talking about how they loved the movie. All paying customers just doing what comes natural... to them.

How about customers? Whiner is offensive when referring to somebody who has bought a product that does not work as advertised and has the temerity to come on to a company forum and complain about it.
Still, you don't seem to understand so I will leave it at that. Its not a good way to further the companies interests though, by alienating a large percentage of future product purchasers.

What I tried to say is... it doesn't matter. Paying customers and non-paying customer will whine. Some people are just going to whine.

The sim runs very nicely on my system aside from the bugs and missing features. The load times are very fast as I installed an extra drive {SSD} with only Windows 7 64bit and the sim loaded on it. If the sim is supported we should see most of the issues addressed if its not supported its over.

You gotta admit whining does have a nice ring to it.

Back to the real world... face to face it would be rare to call someone a whiner. Might get your nose broke.. LOL

On forums people hide behind their anonymous id, which shouldn't be license to say things they would not say to you face to face. Alas, that is the way of it.

The funny part is... you can't complain about people calling you a whiner without whining.

True lol.

How about this:

Profanilty=BAN
Calling someone a whiner etc=BAN
Calling someone a fanboi etc=BAN

Both sides are just as abusive to each other, although why there are even 'sides' here is downright weird.
