Your point being? > My point is your rating was based on an assumption that was totally incorrect: that the developer had made a reasonable effort to put the right gauges and levers in the right place. Do you make a similar assumption about the FDM? That it is approximately right? Is there much value in such a rating? Which brings me back to my original assessment - your rating system is a subjective view of how things look, and perhaps feel, (aka beauty contest) not an objective assessment of the accuracy of all aspects of a model. It is quite possible that a developer could give you a more accurate assessment of his model - he knows where the bodies are buried. Others are proposing this if I read their comments correctly. But I think you seek an independent view. I hope a better system will evolve from this debate. I think there is a need with 300+ aircraft a varying quality in our inventory.
