Possibly all too true! I guess everyone is jingoistic to some extent but ZI hadn't thought of it the way you put it. I think you may be right

I feel this is more than a little true too. It can be hard to get to help a developer though...last year I was in contact with a developer for Shockwave's upcoming AVG simulation. I was arguing hard for individual skins since there is so much individualism present on the AVG aircraft. Anyway, I posted some screenshots of my AVG skins to illustrate my points, and suddenly I was PMing with the guy running the effort

I called him on his cel, he called me back but he lives in a different time zone and we never connected...I wish Scott and his team the best, but I really wish I could have talked to him on the phone rather than just online. Just didn't work out. But deep down, when that sim comes out, I know I'll spot something I will feel I could have helped make a little better, and mentally kick myself for not trying to talk to Scott harder. But try as we might, it never panned out. It can be hard, even if the dev wants help or is willing to at least listen
