just my 2c
and specifically about the product DCS
from a perspective of 12 years watching it develop from the early days of Lock On 1.0
it ain't so bad
maybe expectations were not well managed
implementation could be better
it is not so bad that one would delete it from the HD and run for the door
it fact, it is quite good
it is what it is : a work in progress.

back to skin making, did I mention today what a ghastly work intensive template the F-5E template is ?
