RE: flight simulators
I can't see any reason to go on with this argument. Obviously, ramons knowledge about computers, software and copy protection is that far off-track, that convincing ramon means feeding a few terrabyte of knowledge first. That's a job nobody can do in a forum. He has his ideas, he doesn't harm anybody, he doesn't have the flying skils to see the difference - so why bother? That story about crapy software with copy protection really produced a big smile on my face. Now I understand why people like AutoCad, SolidWorks and ElectronicArts never made real big companys ... I mean you hear the whole story every evening in your favorite pub. Watch out for the guys arguing that their 25 years old beetle is so superior to any modern car because ... or the other guys on the field, proudly showing their 25 years old ugly stick 2 axis, repaired to a level I would call unrecognisable with 2 pounds more weight due to 25 years of repairs. That guy approached me and told me "in the past they still knew to produce real solid models". I mean, he really had a chance to learn flying for 25 years but obviously never took it!
