Typical of most forums, someone asks a simple yes or no question and it ends up being a bitch session.


Are you bitching? or are you saying yes or no?
Be careful though. If you give an explanation as to why you will or will not be buying someone may accuse you of bitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I have just witnessed now, this endless cycle of point-counterpoint will go on until the FS franchise is no more. ;D

I hope the franchise (evil empire I call it) does collapse.

You know with each of these sims when I get down to the nitty-gritty of the differences between versions, the more I see 'other adjendas'.

Recent point in case is XML, NOT user friendly for the average punter. First appeared in CFS3 and looks like M$(

I think MS should get an acount on all FS-based Forums, with the acount called MS or ACES with an FS or MS Avatar.  Then we could suggest stuff and know that we're being heard (but not neccesarily being listened to :P).

But still, being heard is the thing! >:(

I note from preview of my post if typing 'M' suffixed by a dollar sign, it is automatically changed to the complete word 'microsoft'-----did microsoft object to something here?

Apparently if we don't use the M.......t name in full when we are discussing them, their lawyers get very upset and are at this very minute searching the domains for our addresses in order to bring actions against us for bringing the "good?" name of M(something)s into disrepute!!!

They, I mean M(qualcosa)s do everything they possibly can to monopolise the industry and get very upset and protest like spoilt children when they hear objections. Personally I think the EEC fine of

I like XML, it has helped me a lot compared to the old scasm and macro format when it comes to scenery and it's a big improvement over the old "group-export" method for aircraft models. Look at Hamaguchi's BMW. That car and the rest of his addons are a testiment of how XML makes FS flexible. It may not be helpful to you, but it was helpful to me.

Each to his own view Kat ;)

VOLO!!
LMAO, In-fact I'll gladly give them my full postal address, not just domain etc. They are welcome to call anytime.

I mean, a business as BIG as that getting upset at a little dollar sign is quite childish. Pathetic even.

Or do they think they are so BIG they can tell me what I am allowed to type?.

Then again, a recent press release did confirm that microsoft has banned the words 'democracy' and 'freedom' from chinese versions of it's software.

Will I be buying? not bloody likely.
