Hey thx for the news... downloading via torrent after all... but slow as heck, 50% after about 4 hours... thought torrent was fast. lol

And correct... I know 3 DSC forum mods are over here, that great but we will police SimHQ. We allow opinions and disagreements on the product and price, as long as it's not persona attacks. So Thanks.

Sorry FearlessFrog, I assumed I was allowed to comment on what people said. That's sort of what we do in forums, right?
Right here people are commenting on a product, complaining about the pricetag, and I express my inability to understand that complaint and pointing out the inherent double-standard of that complaint. (Basically the point being that this complaint was not leveraged against other companies releasing the same type of product - that requires a double standard, not as a sort of moral judgement, just as a pure fact. Everyone does this about something, just usually uncounsciously, wherefore I personally find it to actually be helpful to have it pointed out - when it isn't pointed out to me I risk continuing in that error. )

Personally I think it's because people have sort of decided what ED is "doing" and anything that doesn't fit that expectation makes people disappointed since it isn't what they excepted. Sort of like how people were up in arms at the new Syndicate game or when Microsoft Flight wasn't the same type of product as the old MSFS series.

To make the simple comparison:
A2A products: Just fine and dandy, superb stuff, give us more please.
ED's P-51D: Not fine, too expensive, needs WW2 map, needs WW2 opponents etcetera etcetera.

I cannot be the only one that does not understand the above, right?
Personally, I like both of them. (Even though they both commit the crime of not selling us AT-802U's, I can forgive them.)

Now, if you're one of the people that wouldn't purchase the A2A planes either, then that's fine. That's not what I'm adressing.

I just want people to feel they are able to speak freely without being ganged up on by either supporters or complainers.

You are allowed, of course, to comment on what people say but consider the questions of 'Are you going to add a rebuttal to every single negative thing you see about ED's products?' because if you (or other ED moderators/testers) are then we have a problem.

I would have thought SimHQ was one of the more impartial forums about, no?

BTW the Su-25T Russian attack aircraft from FC2 is free as part of the DCS download with P-51 - Download it, it's free.

Whoa! Wait, whaaaaat???!!

SU-25T as well? full fidelity? Start-up and all systems working?

This may be a different matter

Bogusheadbox, I think it's fairly obvious I'm not talking about a stratocruiser. However, I might be talking about the B-17, The P-47, the P-40, the Spitfire, the FW-190 etcetera.

That's my point. I thought it was obvious I was talking in the context of warbirds.

And TFC has a flying P-51D, so bringing a flying P-51D into the modern world is obviously not insane either since they are flying, right now. Same thing with A2A Accusim P-51. It doesn't make "sense" as a WW2 simulator, but as a simulation _of that plane_ it's awesome, imo.
