It would be too easy for small-minded people who simply don't 'like' a particular aircraft for whatever personal reasons or because they wish to promote a different aircraft, or even because they don't like a particular person associated with an aircraft, to give that aircraft a bad rating when it might not be deserved. Sorry, but people _are_ that small-minded and it _will_ happen. I propose that we identify the different areas of development i.e. 3d model, FDM, Cockpit, flight control systems etc. and then just state the level of development for each of those areas.
