We're just a bunch of old guys who quite like making stuff in flight sims.
You never heard of us, so saying more than that would just be over sharing
for the sake of it. No point in that is there? <shrug>
And the "secrecy" is obviously so secret I don't know anything about it
either, in fact I had not even noticed it myself ! <shrug>
I may not yell about where our past stuff was to be found, and we've not
really hidden that either, as astute readers of the thread will know, but
that is to some extent in due deference to the sim author. There may be no
love loss there as we've all come to feel rather taken for granted, but
that's no reason to yell the details from the roof tops and be really vulgar
about it all. That much is just us trying to show some professionalism about
it all, and our recognition that it's probably a good thing that someone
does.

OK, we noticed that coders like config files, they only put them in there
trying to give model makers a hard time! ;O) We just happen to think that
with due consultation, a better way to get the files into existence in the
first place might well be there to be had!

No, I'm lost on all that stuff.

Look, we make all our own stuff so no one has any rightfull claim to
anything in that but us. We don't charge for our stuff so there's no
commercial issues either. We could make this far more complicated than it
really needs if we keep playing with endless acronyms.

I saw the shark but I'm not clear on where it might be supposed to help! If,
as seems possible, it's an in joke of some kind, then maybe I was busy
when, whatever it was, happened? ;O) <shrug>
Nearest thing that comes to mind is that old thing about the "Happy Days" TV
show getting past it's sell by date, and "Jumping The Shark" but I can't do
better than that for now! Been a long day.
