Might as well take this down as a sticky now as in the new 3.0RC, there isn't a "File" folder anymore.

I have to agree that there isn't much help in any of these sites [AAS, M4T. SAS, UP] for most people. I originally joined in 2005 and mostly been ignored and had to work out my own issues. I purposely set up a new account recently hoping to look like a new guy on issues with 3.0RC but that attracted not much either. Not sure what the formula is except maybe being known from flying on hyper lobby. Some posters [especially at SAS] are down right hostile to people with questions as if "they were born with all their knowledge" and have nothing but contempt for those who ask elementary questions. Such attitudes will kill new growth in the hobby. Too bad.

Mapczar,

I feel bad with you about the issues that you mentioned. Personally, I don't use UP at this time so I feel reluctant to offer any help, though I do know some things which are certain to help someone in a given situation.

The condition of IL-2 modding is that people are making a slow but steady diversifying as they spread to more IL-2 websites as they are launched. How I feel it applies to this is that the knowledgeable people are spread far and wide now and also much busier than in the past.

None of this is any excuse for being ignored or insulted.

Around here, Admins and Moderators are working to keep this website friendly and we handle unfriendly issues as appropriate ( though we are not perfect ).

One way that I have found to respond to all this is to make friends with good people who share my interests.

I am confident that you can find some in this neighborhood.
