NVdrifter,
As one who truly enjoys
both GWX and LRT, I hope you will reconsider your decision to halt work on LRT for GWX 2.0. I am relatively new to the community, so I am unfamiliar with any personal history you may have with the GWX development team, and I do not wish to make you or anyone have to relive any unpleasant memories, if any.
Having said that, and at the risk of interjecting myself into the middle of something I know very little about, I humbly offer my opinion. From reading your posts and the thread mentioned above, I don't believe any personal animosity toward you was meant by Kpt. Lehmann. It is unfortunate he mentioned your mod first in his thread about what was not to be included with GWX 2.0. I can certainly understand how you would feel singled out by that. In addition, from reading some of his other posts, it seems the Kpt. sometimes tends to "shoot from the hip," especially when talking about his "baby."
OTOH, I think some of his hesitancy about your mod stemmed from his mistaken view that you had, in his words, "left the community." As such, he was probably afraid that you were not going to be around to resolve any of the remaining imcompatabilities between LRT and GWX, or later, for user support should some kind of problem arise between your mod and GWX. Since the GWX team did not know much about what they thought was an "unfinished" mod (my word, not theirs), they probably felt it best not to include it with GWX 2.0.
I agree that Kpt. Lehmann may have made some misstatements about "broken" crew qualification system and sensors, but again, I don't think he was trying to be malicious. More likely just ignorance about the progress you had made (and continue to make!) with your mod.
I just want you to know that I am a great fan of both your work and the work of GWX, so I would hate to have to choose between using your mod or GWX 2.0. Ideally, (and selfishly, I admit) I will be able to use both! In any event, you have to listen to your own intuition to decide what is the right thing to do. If working on your mod gives you enjoyment, go for it! But don't let what other people think (including myself) make that decision for you!
