Eski- thanks for the kind words.

DMF- nice posts and responses.  Thanks for giving us some substance.  Hope people are able to pick up the signals in the middle of all the noise.

DeeZcamp- please don't confuse the issues.  It's not a realism vs. game play issue.  It's a game play vs. game play issue.

Me too. Thats where the fight is.

hehe!  something about this reply was just hilarious!!   :D

btw, I'm against total lack of inflight radar in the MA.  The MA is about fun, for everyone.  Removing inflight dar removes the fun for some people.  If you want no inflight dar settings, fly in the historical events.

I am for a compromise.  NOE flights off dar until 5-10 miles from a base (includes both dar and bar;  yes, I realize this has nothing to do with inflight.)  Inflight...  bars definitely stay (with the aforementioned NOE flights not on it.)  Dots can stay, but shouldn't be realtime.  They update once a minute or something of that nature, perhaps only the enemy dots within 25mi of your nearest base showing up on your inflight (your squadmates should always be on dot dar, IMO.  Sometimes they're in a situation where they can't type their location to you.)

SW- meant to say thanks for arguing so valiantly for the "pro-dar" group.  Don't have a heart-attack because of it though.  Need you flying in the MA!  :)

C'mon guys, let's stop with the personal attacks and instigation.  The more noise there is, the more distraction, the less everyone will hear the substance.

DeeZ, here I'll give you two free clues. The rest you have to buy.

Clue #1) I was against the addition of padlock.

Clue #2) I was against the addition of combat auto-trim.

I do not use either of those, yet they are both what you would call "gamey" options.

YOu don't even know what "realism" is, it's just a cute buzzword you learned and you use since you seem to think it agrees with you on every issue you wish to promote as being "better".

It's obvious your cognitive abilities are underdeveloped.

Now I am flying Rook this tour, better check your 6!

hiya all:

not sure if I really want to set in here, but I'm here now. gee where to start.

Ok, the radar is needed to help out the new people, the new people are needed to help build the community, the community has to grow to help the people at HTC's pay there bills, the people at HTC's have to pay there bills so they can contuine to upgrade the sim, the sim has to keep upgrading so that the poeple that are here will stay longer, the poeple that are here have to stay longer to help out the new people, the new people need the radar to help them find the fights.

does any of that make any sence, I'm not really sure.

Now the only people that should be taking any polls are the people at HTC's. the best way that I can think of for them to take a poll. is to send it out by e-mail to all there paying customors and then wait for the e-mails to come back. they can givbe a dead line as to when the answered polls have to be back by. now that is how a poll should be done. it is private, you can answer how ever you fell and nobody can say a thing to you abought your answer. unless you want to tell people how you answered. then you open yourself up to attack. and yes, if you where to tell people how you voted, you would be in for a fight now matter witch way you voted.

I do beleive that this is one of the things that should be left to the people at HTC's to take care of. let them decide what kind of changes should be made with out all the in community fighting. there are so many other things for the community to fight over. leave the changes in how the game is set up for HTc's to make.

And I'm not saying how I would vote.   :p

Thanks Dtango. Don't worry about the heart attack thing, the way I express myself may seem like I'm fuming but I know of no other way to express myself. It would be much easier to understand me face to face, although my language is much filthier.   ;)

As for the instigation and personal attacks, well DeeZ just follows me around like a trained pup waiting for me to comment on something so he can call it gamey or whatever suits his mood. Hblair has decided to take it upon himself to exchange verbal assassinations with me, although he ironically called me out for the way I express myself a few weeks/months ago. The irony and double standards that abound situations like this is probably what keeps me going.    :)

lol yeah I better check it.. haha Nothing to fear from you lol Because It will be clear.  :D

its pretty funny how you are against certain items that would dictate an unreal implementation, but on this issue you are crying like a girl because your precious (needed) radar bar is/might be taken away.

Oh gosh... to Think you may have to actually go Find a fight be means of naviagtion or hearsay... lol

maybe its the red color that amazes you? are you are drawn to the Big red bar??... haha.. or even better yet.. YOU look to it to know WHERE NOT TO FLY.

You wouldnt want to have to alter a mission due to your plans being spoiled lol after finding that you wound up in enemy territory with a group of un-forseen cons. lol

I guess you dont belive in the element of surprise  :rolleyes:

I have my colors set to custom. A deep blue and deep purple. Neither are easy to see, I like to make things more difficult for myself.

But to artificially make something more difficult because you THINK that's the way it would be while you fail to realise that the concession is there for a lack of radar operators and voice communications with those very same radar operators is absurd.

And to say that I need radar because I can not fly or fight is equally absurd and rediculous. I think this film will show you that I am not what you think I am. In fact that absurd statement you said about me trying to dodge fights applies to the very person who started this thread. The irony is absolutely hilarious.

There are many more films I have that are equally as good and will more than put you and what you believe of me to shame.

Your ignorance is outstanding DeeZ, if there was an emmy award for ignorance, you would win it.
