June 16, 20223 yr Just now, Moana Lisa said: Well I'm a woman, how does that fit into your borderline racist theory? You being a woman has no bearing on the fact (it’s hardly theory), that white men generally hold the status positions in their social structures, and so are less likely to have experienced public take-downs of their ideas. Happy to be schooled on where the racism in this idea is. The floor is yours. i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea

So often they’ve never experienced their opinions being criticized en masse and often get very defensive or emotional when it happens, claiming they’re being ‘censored’, ‘banned’, or ‘cancelled’. TBH it’s kind of disappointing that this is still a new or contentious idea for some people. Wow. It's about the MSFS evangelists pushing back on even mild criticism of the sim, zero to do with 'white male privilege'. It is contentious, because 'Critical Race Theory' isn't even close to being proven and is one of the most destructive ideas (reverse racism) to come out from academia. Also, it has zero to do with terrain mesh in WU10.

Wind yer neck in. As I say, disappointing that it should still be such a contentious idea. If I’m a lunatic then, why do you think people are claiming their criticism is being banned, when clearly they’re not and it’s just, as you say, it’s a bit of push-back? i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea

I've made my point in my original post as to why it's contentious, so I'm not going to continue discussing it. I certainly didn't name call you. The mesh in the US does look better, but I haven't tested it. Anyone done a comparison to verify?

June 16, 20223 yr Whatever peoples' thoughts, it's kind of disappointing this got introduced into this forum. One of the things I like about the internet is that, apart from when people want to display their race, skin colour, or gender, we are all anonymous and all have the same rights to our say. Race, gender, or skin colour has nothing to do with it, and it didn't need to be brought up here in this context. Negative criticism without justification will always be challenged, and should be, no matter what kind of person you are - that should make no difference. I think as soon as we stop letting other people put us into their Pidgeon holes with their own assumptions to go with them, the better off we will all be - together. By the way, yes, the mesh is much better around the USA. I noticed it straight away. I will be trying Utah tonight. That State is absolutely beautiful. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

June 16, 20223 yr Dear Lord, how did we get from WU X to Critical Race Theory? Oh, I know why: coz' this is Avsim!!

We should just put it to bed and talk about how the mountains in the US look a lot more wrinkly now due to the better data. (Yikes!

My hairs been going more gray lately and that may just trigger me. I was really excited for the beautiful island of Catalina and it’s airport, and Disneyworld.. oh and the San Diego updates.
