Jack the Swede in Spain Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Every day I read several postings about "wnen will this or that scenery be released for P3D v3", "will this or that scenery be released for P3D v3 before end of november, before christmas"!!!! JV has clerarly stated that NO release dates will be published!!! What´s the matter with you guys, can´t you read or don´t you understand the written word? I have allways seen "FS-pilots" as bright and clever people but seems I have to to reevaluate my opinion. But on the other hand, who cares about what an old Swedish goat in Spain thinks!

lawrence aldrich Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Actually, a lot of FS Pilots are dumbasses, but nobody ever knows who they are until the ask for release dates. So doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result is OK in this particular case. It's an identity thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquesBrel Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 In my experience, there are a lot of internet users who are not very experienced with navigating discussion forums and message boards, and many tend to overlook topic labels such as "ANNOUCNEMENT" and "PINNED". It is just not enough for them to stop and think "Maybe this topic contains something I need to read." In addition, many are used to social media such as Facebook and Tiwitter, where you just post a question when you need information, and so they tend to use message boards the same way.

FreeBird Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I don't think it is our problem to begin with. Let people ask the questions they want as it is there forum too. Lets not sit in judgment of others. If Orbx thinks there is a issue with these kind of questions let them deal with it. We must respect each other. Personally I get fed up too with some of the posts but just laugh it off and move on. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Agree with JJ, and I agree with all 4 responses. There is no right answer -- and best thing to do is probably just ignore them -- but it is getting borderline absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 About the only way I can think of is to have every new user directed to a post outlining the "it will be released when its ready" policy. That would probably cut the question by .002%. IMO the question is just an extension of the Mc Donald Syndrome. ( I want what I want and I want it NOW!). Having started with ORBX/FTX forums at VOZ v0,99 my only question of this nature is 'When will it get fixed??' for the corrections that are required for new releases etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridinroun Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I bet a lot of them know the policy and ask anyways. Go to other forums and you see that all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I bet a lot of them know the policy and ask anyways. Go to other forums and you see that all the time. hence my estimated 0.002% reduction in the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 As you will see, I have moved this to the Pilot's lounge. It is good to let off steam sometimes, let's continue in the light hearted way in which the topic started. There is no such thing here as a stupid question but there are indeed very many unnecessary ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 There is no such thing here as a stupid question but there are indeed very many unnecessary ones. Totally agree with you Nick. Just had to let some steam out. After having a few Tapas and a nice glass of red, I feel normal again. By the way, in our little town, Castalla, we have a yearly "Tapas-round". That means we can vistit about 40 restaurants and have Tapas and a glass of wine/beer/refreshments for €2. Hope you don´t mind me linking to a site. Guess I will have a few Tapas the next weeks. http://www.eurotourguide.com/en/costa-blanca-south/events-calendar/castalla-tapas-route Sorry but this is what my friend Mark and closest neighbor (a Scotsman) will serve during this month. It's that time of year again where Glenns Castalla take part in the "RUTA DE TAPA "It begins this coming Friday 6th of November until the 29th. Come in & try our delicious tapas. This year will be TANDOORI CHICKEN WRAP WITH MANGO SALSA or SMOKED MACKERAL FISH CAKE. Jack the Swede in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing here as a stupid question but there are indeed very many unnecessary ones. Nick, were you ever working for the FCO in a former life ? A mistake made by all the honorable posters above in this thread is to think that the act of posting shows a will to get or give information. It is not so. I reckon a lot of people post just to participate to the show. Reading FAQ, announcements, "post outlining the "it will be released when its ready" policy", you kidding right ?

birdguy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I reply just to be in show sometimes Dominique. Especially if I can reply using a bit of sarcasm. But this topic has been done to death. Like death and taxes there's no stopping the 'When will Bum-Bum Egypt" be released posts. I read them but have learned to hold off replies anymore. But your last reply deserved a reply from a 'just participating' guy. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 From my ripe old age, I tend to figure that everyone is doing about the best they know how to. So I cut a lot of slack for others, knowing that they are also cutting a lot of slack for me. It all evens out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 You should get some answer here http://www.monterey.com/restaurants/tapas-small-plates.html Thanks, Dom. Worth checking out when the tourist season is over and prices become normal again, which is very soon, come to think of it--it's already November!

Ripcord Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 When I was in the Navy we were able to visit Rota Spain a few times. Loved going out on the local town there to have the tapas and a glass of red. Didn't have much money then, being an enlisted serviceman, but it was affordable in small quantities and it was a lot of fun. Would love to go do that again someday.

FalconAF Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I was an Air Force Instructor for several years while in the military. Like Nick said, "There's no such thing as a stupid question." However, we usually amended that by adding, "...But there are a lot of Inquisitive Idiots." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I don't post that often, but you guys are cracking me up! From the grumpy to the light hearted I have to agree with you all. I look at it this way, look at all the new simmers that are coming onboard! Surely, after asking "is it ready yet" the first time a poster has learned not to do it again, right? All these types of posts are from new customer! LOL ps Jack, thanks for that link Wonderful stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
