For those of us who have heard for a minimum of a year how there WILL be an SDK in the "new" version,
and who are perfectly aware that Virtual Sailor has had this function for some time ,
the same old song and dance just doesnt cut it anymore. indeed the 2008 reportedly doesnt even have a mission editor yet.
bottom line -
in the old forum techinical problems were often left unanswered. people like myself found themselves answering numerous "help me" posts on a daily basis.
moderators spend more time beating down "repetitive posts" than actually bothering to help.
despite insisting this is a simulation, far more time is devoted to eye candy.
does it really matter if i can read the inscription on the statue of liberty ?
wonder how much that costs...but hey lets not worry about an sdk despite repeted promises.
rather, lets have the NVDG or whatever they are called this week , come up with hundreds of ideas start numerous projects , and more or less jerk around and waste the time and efforts of some very talented people who were willing to help.
i recall you guys repeatedly blamed the users publicly,
( its your graphics card, its your ram , THATS why you cant switch environments without a crash)
while denying KNOWN issues that were the actual problem.
maybe if you werent in such a rush to put out a new product every 2 months ,
people like myself would actually believe that whatever you promise in "the patch" will actually occur.
Instead , i just dont believe a dang thing you say anymore.
this from someone who put in hours upon hours of beta testing / mission writing for expansion pack.
from loyalty to casual disregard.
good luck !
