I did receiuve a message back:

Ah thanks for that jcomm, I looked in my spam folder and indeed I had that reply too, obviously my user error on that, good to know it was received and acknowledged, thanks.

I run my own Exchange server and it didn't go into my spam folder!I want my ackowledgement emails!!If you are reading this Steve Balmer..Please acknowledge me!!

I've sent in a number of detailed, polite, professional emails describing problem areas then identifying several potential solutions, weighing the pros and cons of each.I've never gotten back even a canned form-response, and I have checked my spam folder.Sigh.

While Iappreciate his ideas we discussed his proposals internally with Howard and the team. And no, wefind that [i]Journey to Promethea[/i] will not be an adequate DLC for our Flight franchise. Also,[i]Journey to the Center of the Earth[/i] does not quite fit our roadmap at this point while we appreciatehis idea to add Tail Waggers to the aircraft section but he cannot expect a Deluxe version with a cockpit.With regard to the variety of missions we can already now announce that we will add, however, some100 Dollar Big Mac, 100 Dollar Hot Dog and 100 Dollar Chicken McNuggets missions in the near futureat a marginal cost of 19USD or 1200XP which should help to keep him entertained until we release futurecontent for Flight together with our 3rd party developers KFC and Burgerking.Best regardsSteve

Classy! Well explained and polite!Dude, keep us posted, because if they don´t read letters like that, i will go back to Tetris, from the apple store! lolWe need more e-mails like that!Thanks dude!

Nope, John..not a peep, but I'm not expecting one.

C'mon Jake. Steve answers himself, I posted his email to you above and you still complain?

ROFL..he must have read my mind! How about a $5000 hot-dog that I have to fly to Alaska to get in my Dassault 2000?Anyway, thanks for passing it on for me and say hi to Bill toot, though I expect he's too busy perfecting his coin-collecting technique to be bothered with me J

Jake, will be glad to forward your idea to Steve again. Good news that Bill seems to be still interested. Always good to have a direct line to top mgmt.

Classy! Well explained and polite!

jcomm's post or steve ballmer's mail?

I always notice that Sims made by big companies have a strong tendency not to want to show damage to licensed vehicles. Wings may break off in fighter Sims, but damage in big name Sims is usually a big no-no.Hence bouncing planes or fade to black.Silly.Lots of good ideas there, though.
