Not every suggestion made in the forum or on the devel list is good. While no one deserves to be belittled, a fair share of suggestions deserve to be ignored (unless you feel you are entitled to 30 minutes time from, say, a 3d rendering specialist who explains to you in detail why your idea really doesn't work in non-technical terms - I don't). There are many questions asked where the answer can be found in the Wiki with a short search. There are suggestions being made which even on first glance are impossible in practice. It's not the developer's job to deal with these things - it's your job as a forum user to do so. And not every rejection needs to be taken as personal grievance carried around for the next years - sometimes one just has to allow for the possibility that one has been wrong. | Not every suggestion made in the forum or on the devel list is good.

We have here two groups of persons (with blurry boundaries): The first group takes something for free, which is a Flightsim which you download from servers for which someone probably pays real money. The second group gives something, which is their time to create the simulation. | We have here two groups of persons (with blurry boundaries): The first group takes something for free, which is a Flightsim which you download from servers for which someone probably pays real money.
