I've had my fill of guys over the years that simply 'know it all'... they've unfortunately been the bane of IL2, from beginning to even now. this sim seems to attract them like flies to honey, with each and every one being the same ole same and each one forgetting that at the end of it... it's just a game and that's all it ever was supposed to be.
just like this mod they turn a 'fun' thing into a race for one-upmanship... and such is, nor ever has been needed.
I've watched hundreds of eager, ready to tackle modding kids start out with the gleam in their eyes to try to mod only to become bogged down by rivet counters and 'i know better' types... and sadly, eventually give up modding or give up the game altogether.
everyday we have many guys that fade into the woodwork and quietly disappear from the game forever... and it's always more that vanish than it is new guys coming 'in' to the game. sure, some of it is real life getting in the way. some of it is personal things. some of it is a lack of time. some of it is frustration. and then a lot of it is and always has been the 'look at me' syndrome this game has always attracted.
now if a person doing a mod says in the open that...i intend to build the most possible accurate perfect plane this game engine can handle, then sure, spot on advice and picky information/comments might be okay. but when things are meant to be FUN, that's a totally different story.
the thing is the 'know better' guys never get the FUN thing. they're too worried about letting others know how smart they are and miss the point completely.
aw frig it. just forget it. you won't get what i'm talking about anyway. it's useless for me to flap my gums over it.
