Skate, where did you read that interview? And that seems really strange to me, considering that the P-51 Mustang was included in CFS1 and 3, and A2A has wonderful P-51's and P-40's cockpits. Copyright infringement, or budget restrictions?

Just on a lark I re-installed FSX and went to simviation for some freeware planes and all are without textures, just a dull gray model, haven't checked out the scenery I installed yet.

If they release cockpit clad planes now, they won't be able to announce a "new" DLC realistic later with cockpits.

I don't think the moderation there (I assume AVSIM) is as draconian as the wording may seem, IMHO it is targeted moderation on the overly attacking posts and especially people who don't even have an interest in Flight but troll repeatedly.

I have posted plenty on that Flight forum about my unhappiness with the Flight team's strategy and missing features, the lack of TrackIR or AI or disappointment of cockpitless aircraft releases, but I have never been moderated or threatened because my posts were on the subject being discussed and not personal attacks and I was not trolling.

I have seen plenty of posts there from both sides (pro and anti Flight) that go overboard, and bring no value other than making the poster feel better about themselves, and getting their troll point in.

So your mileage may vary on whether that moderation is indeed draconian or not... for me if it makes people discuss Flight in a more subjective tone and gets rid of the trolls that don't really use Flight but seek out Flight forums and discussions just to get their repeated digs in, then good riddance, hopefully it will also tone down the Flight fans who attack people asking for TrackIR as some "hardcore simmers" extremist niche (though Josh Howard probably loves those people :D)

FSX and Flight is not a religion (though sometimes they resemble comedies), grown adults should be able to discuss it intelligently without resorting to insults.

Good post Kludger. I was being a little overly dramatic in mine.

Good God...now one of the biggest "other" forums has implemented draconian moderation measures, ready to hand out bans at the drop of a hat. The other forum, with flightsim in its name, has a pretty notorious moderator crushing any dissent.

This game has pi**ed off more folks in the community more than I've ever seen; that includes forums, facebook, their own webpage and blog.

Yeah I think it all boils down to how the AVSIM moderators enforce... if indeed it becomes draconian I too will stop reading the Flight forum as well, I mainly check it now and again to hear any updates on TrackIR or the Alaska DLC (hoping it adds sim enhancements).

Thanks guys.. I appreciate the self-moderation..

One thing I do hold out for..is that it really wouldn't take very much to get Flight back ON the right track. Now..Alaska..I don't know. I mean, I'm sure it will be pretty and rugged and all of that..but if the missions and aircraft don't amp up a bit it will be another fiasco. And the problem is, a lot of people have probably already tuned out and won't even drive by for another look. That is my biggest gripe - they had a chance to showcase sims as fun, challenging, and exciting and they missed (over, and over, and over again).

If they could get some skis on the Maule, get the radios working, and put some challenging landing strip missions in there (glacier, gravel bar, tight mountain-top)..they could start going somewhere with the game side of the game. If I have to fly from Nome to Anchorage to deliver monkeys or pick up a $100 hamburger..I'd be pissed.

I'm a simmer. I love sims..love flying..love games. Yet I'm going to wait for the reviews of Alaska to come in before I waste any additional money. That is pretty telling..when the customers that actually would normally WANT the content are sitting on the sidelines because of the track record..
