exhausted

Wow mizzy... In a thread where others are discussing contracts and admissibility, your understanding of hearsay is wrong. When someone is trying to educate themselves and discuss, it is your role to not police discussion and tell people they are invalid simply because you don't personally agree. What kind of logic are you using anyways? Hearsay is when an out of court statement is being used to prove the truth of what the statement is about, and it is used for its actual evidentiary value in several ways, even in court.

Man I'm so sorry to hear that. Any chance to recover? Maybe in the temp files?

Will do

How many Gs can you pull before these loads detach: 1: FAB-250/500 2: Nukes 3: Fuel tanks

There might be a little bit of Pakistan in there

Can this be moved to the Bugs section? My mistake

Does not, DCS_updater.exe just does an authorization check and takes me into the game UI.

I can't even find the directory to the new launcher. No new icon

My Warthog throttle doesn't respond (this module only so far, but works in Hornet) and cannot reset it. Red ! appears.

Same, and AJS37 is a trial so disregard

nullThis is an interesting error, not for the AJS but for the -23

I can think of 3 really interesting scenarios to have on this map. But GWOT, endless circuits and dropping a bomb ever 50 missions is not one of them. None of Iran is included (current hotspot between Ayatollah and Taliban over water, with Iran flying over Afghanistan with its air force IRL), none of Pakistan (could the Pakistanis go after the new Taliban, now using tons of western equipment?), and battling the Taliban from sea, which now seems impossible without designing missions to jump across maps. Nope, won't be getting this map as it misses on all the main points and would only encourage them.

Because even in Afghanistan, the Marine Corps flew from the sea before they flew from the land. Traversing 200 miles or so of Pakistan does not take very long in a modern jet, especially when you have to do check ins and refuelings on the way. But the biggest reason is that Harriers and Hornets are limited on their payloads when they take off from the higher elevations in Afghanistan. In fact, the winds at Bagram were so high that the Harriers violated their safety protocols just to land there (not allowed to land in heavy crosswinds).

Sunken costs are just one of the drawbacks of misstepping when they could have resolved it. I don't think the resolution is going to be a solution. Avoidable? Probably, but the door is open and litigation is more likely than it was before they 'pulled the trigger'.

That's fine but do you really have to shut down his opinion if your angle is that people can have their opinions? I actually think ED should give some more choices with this map and maybe you're going to shut that down too.

It is not ideal and maybe it is a sign of extreme stupidity of the first person who got a lawyer involved, who thought, "you know what would be better than sorting this out to leave most of the contract in tact and elevate the reputation of our operation? -- how about we hire a team of lawyers to fight the other side, so that it takes longer and leads to unpredictable results unsatisfying to all but a court." By looking for a legal solution, they threw everything up in their air, and hired complete outsiders to reorganize it all. They needed to weigh their best alternatives to making a resolution, and decide which outcome would help them most. Now, it could end up being a zero sum game with destructive results. Call off the lawyers, make the deal in writing and show the community that the DCS brand will not die of strategic blundering.

No, no, no. You've missed the mark entirely, just like the bombing campaigns you are ranting about. Contract law is as much about what is written as it is what is not written. While parole evidence is often refuted with the rules about the four corners of the contracts, the truth about damages, mitigation, foreseeability and other peripheral issues require tribunals to at least see what is not written. Add to that the rules and enforcement provisions sometimes apply only in some jurisdictions, and supposed requirements to either go into arbitration or be subject to the rules of one forum but not others, and you have indeed triggered the need to look at facts and factors outside the written word of a contract. Ethics and intent indeed matter since both sides are claiming the contract broke down and each is likely operating outside its provisions. Because the actions of each party, but for different reasons, they probably have each broken parts of the agreement and now everything could be in play, depending on the forum rules.

He has a good point, and I think this is exactly what he means by suppressing an opinion you don't agree with.

Not a good comparison at all, and ranting outside the issue on personal values topics. What you may not know is contract law is largely built around what is not in the written word of the contract.

The Iraq map NEEDS water. If not, then it's another swing and a miss. How many of these can they make? The answer is that critical mass has not been met, but we may only know once it is.

The gaslighting and ridiculous excuses are making the whole thing stink so much worse. Over 70% of the strike missions flown to collapse the Taliban originated from the US Navy's aircraft carriers. The 250 miles of nearly featureless desert, that would be overflown at 20,000+ feet, cannot be the drain it is being claimed. Such claims are infeasible. He often speaks for the company and could have just been saying what he was told by the real map makers. ED wanted a high yield development with limited scope with the Afghanistan map, and they did not expect people to care about the coastline when they really just wanted people to plan around using the Army helos. They designed the map to take advantage of a recent conflict to give these helicopters more appeal. Simple as that. The plan backfires when it turns out the map is not interesting without a coastline. People bring it up, ED does not really address it but rather claims it's not possible to add the coast. Okay, not true but let it be noted.

This is speculation and conjecture, not fact. Actually, a hypothetical performance hit on a flat area is a complete red herring issue. There is a much easier way of saying that the sole issue is ED wants a Kiowa playground and they aren't interested in having an Afghanistan map that is capable of doing what is wanted.

Hedging around "quite possibly maybe could have a pretty big impact" hasn't been persuasive, given that we have large maps with literally the exact same area. If they can't do areas without detail, what makes you think they won't kill performance with the level of detail they are making for the planned areas? And 400km is 248 miles, or less than 30 minutes flight time even with an aerial refueling. These excuses still aren't adding up.
