Hi all, > ..ok, so you have no way of assuring people see the same things at IVAO.
Right, though differences are scarce in practice. But even in real life, you have no way of assuring others see colors the same way you do (just kiddin ;o) ). >> >> > ..you fly FG in IVAO using Wintendo???

I completely agree with that. That's why I kept insisting that no one should loose their freedom to play in the way more fun for each one. Someone will prefer messig around, looping, crashing, hitting, aerobatics, etc. Some other will have more fun executing a full flight, with its takeoff, departure, enroute, approach, goaround, diverting, holding or landing procedures, using charts, in a way exactly identical to reality. And someone could prefer both things, depending on the day. Then, two (or more actually) separate networks is best. You don't need to change your flying meetings; moreover: you shouldn't do it for the sake of joining another network. And IVAO would accept FG simmers that enjoyed real life procedures without changing its principles. I don't even think joining networks is philosophically possible.
