Rotton, there's never been any claim to fame or getting my name in bright lights, as it was called, whoever came up with that idea? I remember who but never mind that.
My only goal was to get back into programming and learning C++. EAW was merely the oppertunity to do it. Like everyone else I took pride in what I created, don't you?
What I believe is not part of the debate, what is is that it hurt. Trying to turn that fact into a serious case of paranoia goes beyond the call of duty and reflects the previous discussion.

BTW, I did only get banned once, after Col. Gibbon started rediculising my pictures which led to me quoting another forum member's reply in one of my threads.
It was the same remark I used that got me banned, whereas the other person was allowed the same remark without repercussions.

Hi VB.

It was not only me, who questioned the authenticity of you blip picture, although I did kick off the topic. As nobody has ever seen the model, it was impossible to verify, and you never released anything to speak of to the community.

I've often tried to get that Windmill with turning blades, and it's only recently we made the blades turn, but only by flipping through 4 identical models, with blades in different positions.

Admin note;

Been reading this thread, and watching the progressive decline in posts, 'lately', on this forum.
My advice is, people just continue to focus on the sim itself, and stop the back and forth banter between members.
BEFORE someone steps over the line, and throws a 'personal insult', which leads to a ban.

And that, I'm afraid, will lead to a decline in the EAW flight sim.
It would be, in a sense, "Flight Sim Suicide".

A flight sim which has weathered the storms, for so many years.

I suggest EVERYONE think about what the future holds for all the people who enjoy this flight sim.
And stop the bickering now, just end it.
No more "personal negative comments", on other peoples activities.

If you can't say something positive, just don't post anything at all.
Or keep it about the 'work' and not the member.

It'd be best for "EAW".....and I think we all want that.

Just my personal observations, at this point.

Ray, I am not attacking here or taking sides in this discussion, just expressing my own opinion.


Mogggs, quite nice. My 1940 stuff is available you know. He111, Ju88A, 109E, 110C, Ju87B, Spit I, Hurricane...just lift the first skin out of a squadron if you like.


The proper way to point out an 'opinion' of another persons work.

Thank you "Iron Mike", for setting an example of promoting EAW and it's future..... smile

I was not going to post but this comment is way out of date.
The original attempt involved was your hard work, but it is no longer an animation of four models. It is a model in which the sails turn because they have a set of TMod properties that makes the turning code kick in when they are in view.

It is a novelty in any case, but getting it to work taught me a little bit more about programming smile

Murphy,

My response to Iron Mike's critique is also correct forum etiquette.

I've worked with many, many members here and they will attest to my ability to edit my work based on their input without rancor.

I've had enough of the sniping from one member and I reiterate that I've done nothing in all the time I've been here to deserve this treatment.

Fair is fair. Address the miscreant rather than a blanket statement that we just need to get along.


Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

Thank you.

Note the underlined part. That is not acceptable behavior here. Murphy did you a favor with his blanket statement and apparently you didn't even realize it.

More than one person in this thread needs to rethink, and modify their behavior.

Excuse me but you need to go through the long litany of snide little comments directed at other members by John.

If you take the time to do so you will understand why I made that comment and you will also note that I have never before described anyone here by any derogatory name.

However, we have reached the point that this must be dealt with in a forthright manner, thus I used the language as emphasis of his behavior.

Has anyone noticed that during the 6 months or so that John was on self imposed hiatus this was a pretty calm place and now that he's back it's a shambles?

Seems pretty accurate to call it a nasty piece of business.

OK...if everyone is done clearing the air, we can get back to EAW.

As CyBerkut has stated, I have no 'side'. The post I cited simply was close to mine, and seemed to be a good 'civil' response, to use as an example.

I simply wish a peaceful forum, that everyone can enjoy.

I'm done here, this is "Sandbaggers" forum, he is the moderator, if he has any problems, I'm fairly certain he can use this as a fresh 'starting point'.
The door is closed.

I do hope 'everyone' understands that.

Please continue....

Hi Mike,

I seem to remember Airfix getting the same criticism when they released their Battle kit millenia ago - apparently they had used a drawing provided by Fairey that was not of the Battle as finally produced. As a retired rivet counter I agree it could be improved a little but it is certainly a lot better than nothing. As Boilerplate used to say "it is only a game".

Pete


With increasing age should come wisdom and tolerance, but as the saying goes, "there is no fool like an old fool" as I prove regularly!

Peter,

Based on IM's critique I made some changes to the Battle. Check the "More Screenies" post.
