I don't think people are upset as such. More like confused and maybe also disappointed at the state of affairs.I find it somehow unrealistic that many times when problems arise in development, that the people experiencing disappointment or even anger should simply shut up. The human mind does not work that way. I am sure everyone appreciates the work of the developers, on many fronts. But at the same time it's a complex play where everyone plays a role. Developers provide stuff, that customers then purchase. Without one side, the cake would collapse. Both sides need each other.In that respect I am all for honesty and direct statements of things. And I also understand and respect the frustration of many simmers who eagerly wait this and that. I have been there myself, and am, all the time.It's life. Tero

Actually I think performance would be right behind realism. I would place it very high on that list of needs. Look at FSX... there is almost zero headroom for complex add-ons. There obviously has to be a new approach to squeeze add-ons in there.
