I don't understand, after longs and understandable mails i had with Curt Olson we could continue to get FG releases with decrease of quality. May be the development team is too proud to admit their errors, running permanently out of the balance. Sometime it is necessary to stop the engine and wait the bridge repaired.
That is exactly what i did when i removed my Crusader from CVS because i could not offer to the community a full functional naval AC.
