A patched Config Editor was made available on www.superhornet.com on wednesday (superhornet.sim-arena.com have it too), perhaps that's what you're referring to? Some people were having problems activating joysticks, mainly USB ones; the updated exe should fix that.

Early last week I wrote up a report for my bosses detailing the current Super Hornet situation. I included a list of issues that had either been reported in public forums and support emails, or that I'd found myself (incidentally, this included an in-game CTD that has only ever been reported by *one* person - I've since added another CTD that has so far *never* been reported!).

I asked that a descision be taken, through consultation with Titus, as to what was going to be adressed. I also gave my views at length about (and advised against taking) a decision of inaction, because I've been around long enough now to know how this would be received - and rightly so.

I recently asked the external producer how things had developed and was informed that the feeling was that any crash-bugs must obviously be adressed. Anything else would depend on time available; apparently we are being pushed incredibly hard on the next project.

I spoke with the MD today to confirm this. The next step is for me and him to prioritise the issues and see what can be done; this will unfortunately have to wait until mid next week, as I have holiday time booked.

So, to summarise: I'm now assuming that DI have been allowed some leeway to look at the Super Hornet code again. Although nothing's going to happen until next Wednesday, I will get the chance then to stress the importance of as many of these issues as I can.

I'm left with the feeling, though, that not as many things are going to get changed as we'd like. Given the apparent time constraints, I also can't really see any additional features being added. This may mean that items such as the FLOLS pop-up window won't happen, especially since aids like the ILS display and LSO are already in place and working (though that would certainly annoy me as much as you, because it was *my* idea to implement the window this way!). However, like I said, I don't know for sure what the outcome will be until next week.

So, I hope this has explained the situation, even if I wasn't able to pass on the best news. Once I find out more, I'll let you know.

Hello again mate, listen, it seems like you are the only person left at DI from the "old school" (at least you seem to think that way). Why don't you use your expertise and that of any other good work associates you know and work for someone who will provide the proper backing a flight sim needs. I think Titus have done you all a big wrong and they are the wrong people to be dealing with software as technical and delicate as flight sims. Let them make shooters or something, but I, and I know many other people too, are not impressed with their "well it's out and making money now so let's forget about it" attitude.

You and me have exchanged many words on here. I hope Titus sanction what you, me and all the other good people who adorn and frequent these forums have suggested.

This really is your last chance to get it right at DI, don't let the side down again like that or DI may be no more. This is not a threat, just fact. Us, the people who spend our money to buy your sims and fund your company will no longer give you a second look. Let the MD knw this too.

Oh well, I've waffled enough for now, I just hope that some day, one day, all will be put right. Why don't you pass the coding on to the boys at iBeta to tinker with? - Titus ain't gonna do anything with it!

Bye Bye for now.

Anyone else feel the same?

But, certainly, Superhornet does deliver, in some beautiful ways. The fully clickable cockpit. The flight deck, with the yellow jackets, showing you the way.

The avionics.

All good stuff.

At the moment you should definitely "stay with Jane's", as of now DISH is not up to todays standards as an overall package (albeit one or two nice features).

Just read through the comparisation articles here on Csim.

DISH would have seemed good if I was aged 13 or something, or maybe 3 years ago it would have appeared great but to be honest I rate it my biggest let down EVER! I just had to get my money back.
