    How is it besides the point? Putting a coastline on the Afghanistan map isn't going to be a huge drain on anything whatsoever. I get the reason for denying the map a coastline is they want the DCS: Afghanistan to be a playground for the Apache, Kiowa and Chinook, but if you don't do Army aviation then you have think bigger: where can you make interesting scenarios that don't involve being a fobbit ferry?

    see the PG map, which as the exact areas in the detail we are asking for -- completely without the downfalls people keep repeating

    This is exactly what is most baffling, and the obvious explanations are not great

    Nice job compiling communications. I want to thank you.

    Only you are using semantics. Just above your reply to me you used speculation in place of what you consider to be true knowledge. My statement about your soapbox stands.
  6. exhausted
    This is very flawed, since people learn to "know" incorrect things all the time. You may be doing it now. Maybe you shouldn't stand so high on the soapbox?

    I think you're confusing the need to actually resolve the issue. You can have the attention of the person who doesn't want to pay you while still not having the attention of that person to resolve the issue. This isn't rocket science, you know?

    Wisdom matters The strength of knowledge is often based on assumed predications. If you based what you know only on what you have verified yourself, then your knowledge would be much narrower. Circumstances are responsible for much if not most of your knowledge.

    Ding ding ding This is how it boils down. If ED wouldn't pay attention any other way, then Razbam got their attention. To be clear, I know it requires more than just urgency to resolve the issue, but it looks like ED was expecting to hold off on resolving their issue with Razbam without any timeline. This is what has so many people upset at the outcome.

    You look like you're fixing to pop. Go off and do something else so you can lose your temper there. Nobody likes witnessing grown people break down.
  11. exhausted
    Or what, you'll reveal that you haven't been serious all along and have only been denying everything simply because you disagree? Whoops, too late.

    I hesitate to give you more fuel to make this more about you, but you have been provided everything you asked for and I think you've tripped on the steps to your own denialism ladder. Thank you for letting the serious folks continue discussing. There is very little trust both ways, if you can't tell. We have a lot of information already, and I don't think you need every last detail to have an informed discussion. Even lawyers on the board know this. If ED wants to give more information then they could. They may choose not to, and that's fine. But we know there's issues with lack of payment (already admitted), we know that there's a counter claim of IP infringement, we know Razbam modules are starting to atrophy, and we know that ED has had to remove a module in the past when it reached an impasse. Assuming some of what both sides are saying is true, then we know that as end users we have an interest in discussion and in planning our purchases.

    I don't think it "only" does anything, and same could be said for ED's tightlipped rebuttal. If someone could possibly read ED's response in a positive light, then we sure as heck could find the reasonableness in Razbam's own statement.
  14. exhausted
    How does it not seem true at all? To answer your question, did you forget about VEAO? Why not Razbam? If my opinion appears to be nonsequitur, it may be that your framing may be so far off base that any reasonable possibility has to follow another track. You can't bring speculation when you yourself are telling others not to speculate, and then use a composition fallacy that just because something was true one time it is true all the time -- everything about the ED-Razbam dispute is entirely different than what you claim to have experienced.
  15. exhausted
    I didn't distort or read your post carelessly and I agree that publicly discussing the issue does not weaken a claim Razbam may have. I responded mainly to your point about the courts not using silence as evidence in the words, "as to us," as in 'to us' the public. There are absolutely times when silence can be used to damage a case, though I could not say here.
  16. exhausted
    True, many lawyers would tell them not to make public outcry part of their recover strategy, but if somehow making a public spectacle happens, then it may get things rolling. It certainly looks like that happened.

    Silence between parties, yes. And it looks like this dispute involved some silence on the issue of when a pay issue would be resolved. Yes, that tends to matter. As to us, well silence to us probably does not have much evidentiary value in terms of who is blamed for the breakdown of the the contract. Nonetheless, silence itself can be used as evidence in many court bodies. Mizzy there is a simple explanation that perhaps some are refusing to accept: Razbam went public to be informative with that to expect now that payment from ED lapsed for months. If you want things sweet and direct, then don't be so evasive.

    If you have my piece of cake and refuse to give me the slice that I earned, you probably don't want to negotiate something you intend to keep. If I let everyone else know that they should be careful with you when making a deal for a slice of cake, you probably may speak up and talk about how you've "been holding onto the cake, but have a really good reason." Then, the negotiations have to start about getting that cake where it needs to go.
  20. exhausted
    I think you may have distorted both arguments to fit the narrative you want to support. The fact that Razbam waited several months to say that their lack of support for almost a year resulted from lack of payment, and caused their company to shed talent, does not at all indicate they woke up and suddenly decided to break a contract. It sounds like they were either being ignored or stonewalled, with no resolution in sight. ED immediately tried to mitigate but showed they don't have access to the material they need to maintain many 3rd party modules, which they basically promised to consumers after the VEAO incident. Sprinkle in a contract dispute with a history of trying to force new terms on 3rd party developers, and I think you see what some of the culprit has been. Again, which of these scenarios seems more likely to you -- the one where someone suddenly decided to leave a large part of their cash stream, or the one where the host company once again decided to impose new terms over an existing agreement or did not show effort to resolve another issue?

    It seems like there was so much time passing with no resolution, so it may have actually made one of the parties start to negotiate again.
  22. exhausted
    Silence on an issue can be construed as evidence of liability, though. He's right -- you can take the pieces, and look at them, and get a reasonable picture at what's happening. Razbam is taking down the links on its website for DCS product support and it looks like whatever ED did to piss them off is going to be permanent. The negotiations are probably for how much ED gets to keep and has to support going forward.
  23. exhausted
    Great sign that negotiations between ED and Razbam are going well, with both parties putting the relationship with the end users first. Edit: M2K gone too

    So it's safe to say you know what you're talking about here

    Looking forward to the skins for this one. It was one of the biggest missed opportunities, but it was not surprising. A J or S would have made a mountain of sense, given the availability of multiple aircraft carriers and availability at land bases. Whether a proper Phantom doing what it was designed to do will come remains to be seen, but I have my doubts given the mountain of promises and vaporware. I'm actually skipping the F-4E model.
