Part of the reason why I yawned. Don't people like you get sick of standing on your soapbox?
I fully agree that FM for all aircraft should be researched to the best ability. I don't agree with the fact that this modding site is better than that one because it's FM is closer to real life. That is rubbish. The majority of FMs are developed using the scarce primary and sometimes semi-factual secondary sources and then altering numbers in a model to achieve a near-plausable simulation.
Whats more, and part of the reason I bothered responding, is haven't you learnt that such posts (by naming direct mod sites) is simply going to incite the sort of unwanted discussion that occured due to previous posts of such nature? Wouldn't it be more sensible (and seems the majority of the modding community do it this way) is to contact the people responsible for the FM via private message or email, present them with your data and discuss in an adult fashion at ways of going about it properly? Not all parties come to table, but that is mainly because they are sick of getting bashed in threads that usually start like this.
Instead, people are called stupid 3yos, mud is slung, egos get hurt and the modding community suffers.
BTW, I rarely reply to these sort of threads, it is 99% time not worth it, but I'm just sick of seeing this place spend more time arguing about as opposed to making mods.
