...of those developers who know how to provide real quality support.The IL2 FB patch has just been released - all 116MB of it!! My understanding is that this has been supplied virtually out of the blue and despite the fact that the first expansion pack is due out 18th February.Now, that's what I call caring customer support :)Is it too much to expect that lessons can be learned from the example of others? Probably :(Mike

"I don't think so since FS9 does not need patching."This was the standard remark or "put down" used whenever someone suggested a FS2002 patch. My question--when are these canned remarks going to end? FS2004 is a good product--I should know, as I had a small piece in testing it. But do some research on "Seasonal CTD" and Autogen issues, and then tell me it doesn't need patching. Blame it on those of us who helped test it if you wish, but nothing's perfect. Can we live with it without a patch? Yes.... Is there something that can be patched? Also yes....Now I suggest the moderators lock this thread before it turns into a flame war....-John
