The issue is not as simple as you are trying to make it sound, we're still talking about various pros & cons here - regardless of the whole style guide, and regardless of the fact that I do agree with all stylistic concerns voiced so far. The reasons for quoting myself is that I am trying to summarize frequently-raised topics, and those quotes obviously help with that.
But the quote you are referring to is not mine but is based on a posting made by DFaber in April 2014 (as you could have easily verified by clicking the link next to it!):
{{FGCquote
  | here's my wishlist part 1:<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Disable the banking when turning with Ground Vehicles. There are Ground vehicles in FG, but mainly Trains, which I haven't been able to utilize for Cars. Also Cars need to lookup Ground elevation which AI Aircraft don't do too.<br/>
<br/>
FG determines submodel hits on AI/MP Objects by square Boxes around the Aircrafts Origin. These are too wide to be useful with Ground Vehicles and small Aircraft. Some more Size opions would be useful.<br/>
<br/>
When a new Target Heading is selected AI Aircraft don't turn harder than 30 degrees. It would be good to be able to configure this per Aircraft.<br/>
<br/>
I'd like to specify Model specific Properties like Livery, Type in the AI Scenario file. Right now I need to create and set them within the nasal section.<br/>
<br/>
These are some from the top of my head. More to come ...

And based on looking at the C++ code a while ago, I have to agree with DFaber (and flug for that matter) that there are still various problems when it comes to controlling AI models from scripting space that are not supposed to behave like airliners/aircraft. I don't know how familiar you are with C++ code and the AI system in particular, but I also don't quite see how those comments were conflicting with your intentions to contribute to helicopter related articles. I would really prefer this to remain constructive and not turn into another pi**ing contest. I am sure that you have good intentions, but it seems hard to bring those across properly. And maybe that's in part because you do not belong to the intended target audience of such quote collections?
Thanks in advance for trying to keep this discussion "civil" though. '''Semicolon'''.--[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 18:10, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
