Even though some here make valid points I find it disappointing that this has apparently turned into a bash of a guy that actually has contributed a h@ll of a lot of free stuff to the hobby.
My comment may have seemed a bit harsh, but the reality is that Hiroshi is an excellent 3d modeler with a very well-deserved reputation for high quality FS9 work.
As a result, he is perceived by some Padawans as an "Authority." But, just like Yoda, he too has his blindsides and prejudices. Hiroshi's apparent monomania with FS9 modeling has led him to
not invest the time to actually understand the very real differences and advantages of the FSX modeling paradigm.
Whenever any "Authority" speaks or writes outside his/her area of competency, one must be very careful to not simply accept such commentary as "gospel..."
I try very hard to not write about things about which I have no personal competence, such as flight dynamics...
...yet I still occasionally manage to make a fool of myself anyway.
