Default RE: FS one by Horizon Hobbies

The suggestion to limit the scaling max size is well taken. We
consider making limitations like this all the time, but at what point
does one stop w/ the limitations trying to second guess what sort of
let's say "stupid stuff" users might do? So for now, we're not
putting in limitations on size, speed, weight, fly-zones, etc. If
something does become a problem we can put in hooks for the user to be
proactive and, say, block out unrealistically sized airplanes or
whatever (whatever users are saying they want).

We've been working on this sim in the dark for 3 yrs and witness the
strong remarks one way or the other on the various sims.

So it's no surprise to anyone that a new sim on the block might ruffle
some feathers and create some skeptics.

Also, questions about the sim are fine. It's new and there are going
to be questions. As we get closer to shipping we'll be in a better
position to say more (as things become finalized). For now, we're
sticking to the fsone website features page. I would not expect
anything more than what's posted there.

No hard feelings here. Just some serious head scratching.
