    I don't think that any offence was taken Brad. The only aspect of your comment I felt odd was your opinion on ground scenery not mattering to you as far as detail was concerned as you would be flying.

    Orbx make detailed ground scenery. That was the aspect I found odd:)

    Yes of course Orbx has done great work with P3D and XP for the ground scenery . For me the Bing map and PG scenery is all I really need .

    Hi John

     

    Flight simulation is many different things to many enthusiasts.  Sometimes a simple statement such as yours can be open to much interpretation.

    I'd like to  think what you really meant is that when one is flying,  ground detail becomes less important, but at other times it is important.  

     

    I know from your many posts supporting both fellow members when they make scenery postings or for that matter when Orbx shows screenshots of a

    new offering, which lets be honest,  does offer a very high level of detail and a progress towards realism, that your comments have always been enthusiastic

    and supportive.

     

    I've never felt that your comments were anything other than your true feelings about the subject at hand, so I do have to say that I find your comment above

    confusing at the least and possibly open to misinterpretation.  I know that you have a "offbeat" since of humour (which I most enjoy)  and I suspect that may

    be at play as well :)

     

    Since the introduction of MS2020 I have always followed it as an example of disruptive innovation (lots of google info on the economic theory behind it

    if you're interested).  As a result, we continue to see new ways of doing things continually introduced sometimes with  enthusiastic reception by all , but

    often with a split between the "wow this is neat " factor  and the "why can't we just leave things as they are" group.  

     

    However, the thing about DI is that companies that embrace the concept of change, who find ways to look at what is new and different and ask themselves

    how can we incorporate the concept(s) into our particular way of doing business  so we can grow and offer a stronger product portfolio to our market find the

    future can be very bright.

     

    For those who don't , who discount the ideas as unimportant to them, who look at change not as opportunity, but as a disruption to the way they have been

    successful in the past, the stark reality is that they simply will someday cease to exist.

     

    For the record I support the original posters perspective 100%.   I feel he is simply saying that the product landscape is changing and is asking the question how

    can this be incorporated to make what we use better.   Unfortunately or fortunately , MS2020 has begun to show us what can be possible, if we are all willing

    to dream a little and provide our honest feedback and support to all the developers who have made our hobby possible over the years.

     

    Feedback is always a two way communication. They can always show us new and exciting ideas regarding what they can do, but we can also provide them

    the important perspective of not only what we like , but what we would also like to see that is pushing the envelope of the "art of the possible". 

     

     Above all else, MS2020 has shown that that the genie is now out of the bottle and he can't be put back in.  All I can say is "thank goodness" - I never expected

    so much of what is now happening  to occur in my lifetime.  We are so fortunate to be able to experience a brief glimmer so far of what the future may hold for us.:)

     

    Cheers

    Pete

    Thanks for your comments Pete , I usually try to not be so direct . I apologize to anybody that

    was offended by my comment.
