The community is not what it used to be 10 years ago or maybe even 5 years ago for that matter, I personally blame steam for that but that's my personal opinion and I am not going to get into a debate about it, it used to be an extremely helpful place, but after 2,345 (I am exaggerating but not by much) "how do I do something that's in the manual but am too lazy to find out" threads, it gets irritating for the hardcore guys that spend vast amounts of time studying the manual from cover to cover over and over again, watching hours of you tube videos and slogging through the learning process, doing the same bombing mission over and over again trying to get it right, so that kinda explains why the patience levels are not what they used to be.
One or two last thoughts, the devs have thier hands full right now, so for them to dumb down the sim means more work and MAC is still not that easy compared to say minecraft or Assassins creed or the that new FPS Ace combat 7. Anyway good luck mate, and just keep swimming.
