Actually .. that's not a matter of perspective or something for discussion... it's straight out facts.
Many will not want to admit it - but it's fact none the less. And should be fit for any forum or any place.
And THAT needed to be said.

As for the hobby being better ... or worse ....
I don't know that it is a matter of better or worse. Mostly - VERY 'different' than before. And as for "the new generation is ruining everything" - I didn't say that - YOU DID.
What I said was - many in this new generation just don't understand. And they don't. And it's their loss. If you don't like what I said, at least get it right when you decide you want to argue about it. By-The-Way ...... This is A HOBBY .... except for those that make their living from it, the dealers and such. Why the need to argue????

It appears to me that much of the problem you folks have with me and what I have brought out here is that it isn't the usual pablum you've been fed and isn't altogether politically correct to what you're used to saying back and forth to each other. Too bad. The truth is sometimes that way. I don't do 'politically correct'. And FMS is STILL a top notch sim for flying airplanes.

Much has been added to RC over the years. Probably some good and some bad. Some of the 'good' is the use of EPP foam. As for the example of G3 and plugging paremeters in as being an improvement would depend on IF the programming is right to give an accurate assessment of a design. And the only way you will ever know that is to actually build the plane and fly it. If it is right - then GREAT! But, as with anything, it could very well be wrong too. But then, the sim is probably going to be fun, even if it isn't accurate.
