The communities that develop around sports teams have always amazed me. You can gather the most diverse set of individuals that you can find to one place, and if they all follow the same teams, they'll get along like they've known each other forever.
Steve,
The local radio station ran a story about a guy in China who's house was burning down just as his favorite team was about to start a quarterfinal match. He stayed in front of the TV until he had to leave, then calmly unplugged it, carried it out, walked up to another outlet he could use, plugged it in and sat back down to continue watching the match.
He completely ignored the fire dept's response to try to save his burning house. There's dedication and then there's... well, a football fan.
On another note, please take a peek at my blog in general. Just some random thoughts and notes. I'm a regular on Avsim's AC and panel design forum as well as HoverControl. If you could, please ask Sebby to take a peek at the post Re: X files. I'm running into a lot of issues and think it may be the version of X exporter I'm using (7,8 and 9 are available and I'm trying to use 9).
I'm one of the guys who sees the depth of the design and can glimpse the configurability that was intended... and I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that all the work going into the new SDK's will shed some despirately needed light on how to make the sim's components do what you all intended for us to be able to make them do in the first place.
Thanks!
Scott / Vorlin
P.S.: Yes, that's a link to your blog on mine... yes, you're listed as the "Star" from Channel 9. I hope that gave you a chuckle. Really though, it was nice to see real people behind the scenes and get a feel for what you all have to contend with.
In case the above wasn't clear, the link to the blog is my name in the bottom "posted by" line.
Thanks,
Scott / Vorlin
Vorlin - I no longer work on Flight Simulator, so you might want to try posting directly to Sebby's blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/sebby1234.
Cheers, Steve.
