If someone's missing it's you. Those threads and what they point out are old news, we knew about em already.

  However, I will speak up on items that have been proven to be inaccurate and HTC doesnt comment on. 
LOL now if you'd just shut up about things you're "proven to be inaccurate" all would be good. :aok

What you are missing loon is that some aircraft WERE equipped, so who gives a flying horizontal mambo if the one is equipped with them in game. 

They are on there, deal with it.

Totally off-topic Puck, but I got so bored that I typed your location into my GPS.

I'm inclined to call BS. :D

OK, continue with the argument.

Are you trying to suggest I'm not REALLY stationed at a Backfire base on the Kola peninsula?

I said inclined. I didn't say it wasn't possible. :D  Geez, and I gripe about the weather here.

If this is what you're closing argument is, then you completely missed the point.  HTC has modified models before that were a minority in the the read deal but evident in AH2, so for the Mossie to continue to have the baffles when less than %20 of them had the baffels in the real deal, I think the arguement of slanted towards remvioing them vs keeping them especially if HTC is striving for realsim.

All I heard from the people who know (Dale, actually, a few cons ago) is it's a mixture of lookup tables and calculations.  No, it's not X-Plane; Austin would very likely curl up and die in a furball trying to do all that math.  AH is also geared to lower end systems.  As for what they calculate and what they look up?  I have no idea...I didn't ask. 



The famous picture showing calculation points on the Corsair made me wonder, looks similar to the way I understand X-Plane to work.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but your system isn't calculating anything but YOUR plane's movement in the furball right?

Do you really think the time wasted to "remove" them is worth it mr. nitpicker?  If so, then you have done nothing more than prove my point...

Seriously, you are worse than arguing with other nitpickers that try to tell me that CAD2 hardware never was in WW2 aircraft.  It was, and in heavy use as early 1942.  BTW, if you ever want to get anal about an airframe...  we do when we restore one to it's original configuration as built during WW2.  We deal with your type all the time trying to tell us we are wrong.  It really gets annoying having to hear the rants of amateurs.

And that's the problem, Loon, not whether the mossie deserves that mod or whether it would be better off; which it probably would.  The absurd thing is insistence on htc not giving a rat's, and incessantly ranting about everything they're supposedly doing wrong. That they "never reply", "never adress issues", yadda yadda. If you really want to convince anyone that they are such and such, take a trip to their office in person, and report back.  Until you do, can it.

Your entire argument is based NOT on a quest for realism, but simply that YOU think it would be better (i.e. you want the Mossie to perform better than it does) . You love to throw the word REALISM around, when all you are speaking about is WHICH particular airplane to model, and nothing about realism.

And that, Ladies and Gents, is the end of the argument!
