I'm not sure the value of debating and discussing and designing a system
that probably no one will step forward to build. But that said, if you
allow multiple user ratings with attached comments, I would think that would
be useful. Sure there's always going to be a chance that a bad apple gets
in there and claims the world will end if anyone downloads this aircraft,
but that is set again the 99% of thoughtful reviews and comments and
experiences.
I don't think it's possible to have a completely objective system since we
are often don't have good truth references for historic or exotic or new or
classified aircraft.
Is there a way we could abuse the flightgear forum for this purpose? We
could start a forum thread for each aircraft and link to that thread from
the downloads page. It would be kind of clunky and a bear to maintain, so
we'd have to find someone who is pretty passionate about rating aircraft and
tracking user comments. But something like this could be interesting ...
authors could post update notices for their aircraft, and all this
information would be consolodated in one place.
Regards,
Curt.
