Lets see I made available almost 2dozen colorschemes that were downloaded from my site to the tune of 37gigabytes in a few months time. Countless hours and alot of my$ were spent making this happen. The folks over at KnifeEdge thanked me by treating me like an ***hole and censoring me over at their forums.
Would you care to explain why we censored you, or should I?
Please by all means explain away!!
Rick, we all like your art and appreciate the work you have done for G3. But swearing and name-calling are two things that are not allowed on our forums. You and Jay were censored for both offenses.

We do not censor any posts solely because they expose problems with our software. In fact, we use that feedback as guidance for what to work on next. Our next update is a response to constructive complaints that you and many others have made, all of which can still be found at our site.

Let it go, the damage in your heart.

Sorry jaafit,

I NEVER used swear words in your forums. I did tell Slider to mind his own business because he had a bad habit of shadowing almost all of my posts. Other than that, I have to believe you guys at KE censored me because I'm just not happy with G3 and I've been very vocal about that.
I'm not going to reproduce the offensive posts and avatars here to prove a point. I'm sure no one wants to see it anyway. If you want to believe that we censored you for complaining, that's your choice.

Out of a possible 10, G2 was an 8 and G3 is finally up to about a 3. By the way, you guys never will answer why you say you support the GeForce 440 MX card when it WILL NOT SUPPORT SHADOWS? Wanna answer that one here since you won't answer it in the G3 forums?

Jay
I know you've been asking this a lot and it must be frustrating not getting a straight answer. I can try to explain our decision.

Imagine someone owns the 440 and hears about this new software he really wants to buy, but the box says that it doesn't support that card. So he goes and buys a new graphics card to run the software. It runs fine and he's happy.

Then he reads somewhere on the internet that the software *does* work with the 440, that it's just limited. I imagine that this individual would be upset because he would have liked to know that he could have kept his 440, evaluated the software using that card and then decided whether it was worth buying a new card to get all the features.

By saying that the software supports the 440 we keep 440 owners from having to spend more money than they need to, indirectly reducing the cost of the software.

Ideally, we would tell the users exactly how many features each card supports, but that kind of information doesn't easily fit onto a box.

I talked to Ryan (knifeedge forum admin) and he says that once the next patch is out he'll update his [link=http://12.156.2.54/forums/showthread.php?t=9216]RealFlight G3 graphics card support[/link] thread to indicate any card-specific limitations. We'll also make that thread easier to find by adding a link to our homepage.
