A noob somes in here, he's all excited about this new sim he's found and sure, he doesn't use the search function to find out if what he's thinking about has been discussed before.


You're assuming it is a newbie and not a greifer or loser or lame-arse that's just making new accounts over and over and over posting the same **** endlessly. Knowing these forums I'm inclined to think 50% of all the B-29 requests ever made (EVER) were all the same person with "disposable" new user logins.

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

A noob somes in here, he's all excited about this new sim he's found and sure, he doesn't use the search function to find out if what he's thinking about has been discussed before.  So what?  Is that a reason to ridicule him and make him feel small?  Is there a FAQ somewhere that says "No B29s"?  No there isn't.

If I was Coolio I'd be thinking "Jeez, what a bunch of tossers"  

Actually scratch that, I'm thinking "Jeez, what a bunch of tossers" anyway.


Try not alienating new players with ridicule and instead explaining in civil terms why the idea he's had is absolutely bloody stupid.  Right here is the reason this community is not seen as a friendly place.



it's not that he requested it swoop, it's that everyone seems to request it, so often that people stop being polite and nice about it, and just get fed up. there are even some posts on the first page of the wishlist forum still open! dont even need to search.


anyways, coolio, welcome to AH. sorry everyone gets like this over the b29, it's just that it gets requested several times a week, and the reason we dont have it has been explained so many times that noone wants to type it out again...

basically, nukes were used just twice, and they would entirely unbalance the game. however, the b29 is a cool plane, and im sure we will see it in the future, but not right now.




check the wishlist forum for other b29 posts, all the answers are there

I do feel inclined to point out that I don't think I've ever known a n00b to use a forum's search function, on ANY board I've used. Hell, even they've "been around." Sometimes it's faster to ask than search.

Sorry Pooface I am ONLY new this go around ask some the boys about "BigJim" my former handle here and else where, and I understand completely about new guys posting about something that been around a long time but hey they don't KNOW it and pointing it out in a "civil" mannor is NOT that tuff then they are in the "know" and also maybe more newbies who didn't know.

I'd wager that this Coolio109f fellow is not a newbie.  Evidence:

A request for an airplane with a VERY similar sound to the exact request in the Wishlist forum. Nowhere near the amount of justification a newbie would use to make such a request.

The first response is a smiley ridicule.

The first response by the original poster is a simple smiley response.  If I were a newbie, MY first response would be 'Why are you laughing?'

So, we have somebody who started another ID on the message forum just to post a duplicate request to annoy people or ridicule the legitimate newbies that post the request.  

It's the sort of smart *** attitude I have grown weary of in our community.

'nuff said.  Probably too much, actually.

Ahhh but Drone when you take on the mantle of CM staff you are expected to able to post WITHOUT hostility IMHO.

You proudly display the facts of your status in the game and that is great and I applaud you for it, but along with that comes the burden of having to act with restraint if what you allege is true a simple "civil" reply of  "this has been covered many times please do a search" would have been just as effective as the vindictive.

Well heck let's get Boxboy a CM application.

We can make him in charge of the "fly as designed" team.  Heck, just yesterday he did a bang up job telling me how much of a dweeb I am for using a B-17 as a fighter.  Normally I'd take it as a compliment, but this time I wasn't even inverted.  Clearly he has tighter tolerances than most on how to operate our various aircraft and vehicles.

For this I applaud and nominate him for the hypocrite of the week club.  Maybe the Pot/Kettle club.  Aw heck...the lolly pop guild or welcoming committee.





On that note I should also add this video.  ****WARNING**** it contains massive bomber dweebery by flying aerobatics in a B-24 painted as Fat Albert.

Jeez I swear its an epidemic!

Personally I had a good laff at the original post, and I believe the poster was grinning large while posting it :)
