The post was not insulting from my perspective...nor was the message I was trying to convey. HTC rightly or wrongly (opinion) seems to feel that somehow the game is degraded if we are not forced to use the clipboard...if we are not forced to keep our chat buffer, com list etc plastered across our wind screens...

Take for instance the guy now running triple monitors via Triple Head or Eyefinity...they have the luxury of dragging those components into their peripheral field of views. Single monitor guys are still forced to manage the screen real estate...the game over the last few years adopted first the wide screen format, then multiple monitors...it has evolved in that regard, and the next step is to provide an API that lets us take mission critical information and move it either to keyboard LCD's, or tertiary LCD's piped through a com or serial interface...

There is absolutley no reason why Ctrl-D needs to show up on your main windscreen...as an example...

As to glass cockpits I am not for that at all...and if you look at the content of the OP it specifically avoids such data streams...

I am talking some basic stuff that in fact has nothing to do with WW2 realism from the cockpit perspective: Chat buffers, Radio Rosters, CPID on transmit etc have no basis in reality in regards to WW2 aircraft simulations...

While not exactly insulting, it was rather patrionizing and condescending and not exactly the most tactful way of putting out a wishlist request.
