I haven't posted these mods because it isn't for me to do so. On enquiry, the devs have given permission for one or two of my friends to use them, and I thank them for that.
I also am thankful that they have made the AI range and accuracy scaleable.
That should suit everyone. If something is scaleable, quite honestly I think it not reasonable for some of us to demand that something stay as it is because it suits us and our concept of realism. I am also concerned that this attitude is sometimes born of ego, .ie. "look how good i am- I can handle it "
This sim is the best there is. I play it every day. That was also my view of Phase 2. But this phase 3 is getting better and better since release.
Winder et al are listening, and working their socks off on patches etc. (look at the list in the Stickies)
It is remaining a hard sim, yet is being made scaleable to allow newbie access at whatever level they can initially achieve success at. Once in, their skill will grow and if they wish they will scale up.
But the important thing is that they get into the sim, at their mate's who introduced them to it, and so they then buy it for themselves.
I personally have shown the sim to too many mates who couldn't immediately handle it and who say WTTE - "Yea,very nice - looks good ...." etc and that's it. And my suspicion has been that they found it hard and didn't see the prospect of being able to handle it.
If hard work and constant support make for success , then this will be the No.1 sim in recent years.
