I really applaud your stones. Not that you would lie to us, but to come out and tell us the types of things that have been removed, not improved, etc... with this version. I didn't want to hijack the crash thread, but in all sincerity, we do kill the messenger here; to keep coming with what people would call 'bad news' here, and to be able to shrug it off... You're a strong, strong person.

Thanks. I grew up in New England and if you've ever spent the winter there you'd understand it's no big deal. ;)

I agree. While I've done my share of whining (okay, more than my share), I do really appreciate you and MS's approach to the community, so thanks.

I'll chime in with a "thank you." I always come to the forums looking first for any "tdragger" or "pixelpoke" posts ( I am, however, a "non-whiner").Randall

Oh, I'm a whiner, and #### proud of it. It makes me feel that I have a voice in what goes into FSX (denial continues). But I really do like the spin job that he has to do. I wonder if he gets picked on at work for the things he has to say here :(

I'll add my thanks too, it's great that you guys come here and listen to our 'concerns' without passing judgement on us, and where necessary putting us right on things but not being afraid to tell the bad news.Thanks again. Eagerly awaiting the demo, which for me will be tomorrow evening UK time at the earliest.

Just remember that a lot of people mean well. They might be perceived as 'whining' but they mean well all the same.On an internet forum sometimes you have to be 'short' and 'to the point' and that can often be (mis)construed as being gruff and rude.Rhett
