I agree with you on this point completely. that being said:
Why is it necessary to refuse help because you "believe" in playing the game with different mods installed or difficulty settings? You only came back and gave a somewhat more non-judgemental reply after JC replied with an objective and legitimate attempt to help "overandout" find an answer to his question.
Why the need to look down your nose at others who prefer their difficulty/realism mods/settings different than your own?
I think that a "mightier than thou" attitude is counterproductive to making people feel welcome here at the subsim forums. Why not just either help someone out or maintain "silent running"? "overandout" was looking for some clarification on something about the game he didn't understand not your judgement call on how you think the game should be played.
Not trying to be inflammatory, just trying to offer you a bit of constructive criticism. Only reason I did this via this thread instead of a pm was so that maybe some others here who tend to take the same position with others from time to time might think about it too.
Again, relax, this is NOT intended to be some kind of personal dressing down, it is meant to be food for thought, for all.
Happy hunting!  |
Hello, SkyHawk
As a long time member of flight sim forums I can tell you that it is in no way unusual for folks who labor for the most realistic sim to be a bit short at times with those (like me) who take it as easy as they can get it. I have come to see it as mostly justifiable pride in taking the long painstaking road and learning and doing things as near as possible to the actual challange. I have never resented it, because I aspire to achieve it in some future wherein I have the time to dedicate to that learning curve....in the meantime, I have 2 installs....and one I tweak and twist for a fast game, knowing all the while it will make things tougher when I someday get the time to tackle the tough, realistic, and more satisfying side of the sim. But I can see your point.
