I really want to respond to all this but I feel I'm not really entitled 
to because I did little coding for FlightGear the past two years.

Let me emphasize that while I joined FlightGear because it really was an 
accurate simulator rather than in-flight game concept like all the other 
simulators at that time I do bribe about FlightGear these days, pointing 
out the realistic weather conditions for soaring for example.

Your work is highly appreciated by many and please take criticism more 
like "there's room for improvement in this area" rather than "your 
implementation is rubbish" because it's not .. 99% of the time which is 
a great achievement!

Your comments do let me believe that an opt-out checkbox might indeed be 
a better idea. The user base of FlightGear Starts to shift from 'real 
aviation/simulator enthusiasts' and more towards users who are used to 
Microsoft Flight(simulator). The latter will be impressed by many other 
things than the accuracy of the Flight Models (which is more or less 
taken for granted nowadays).

Anyhow, don't feel frustrated. Take criticism for what it's worth and 
reject it if it sounds unrealistic. Also there's no need to defend 
yourself every time, you for one have proven yourself to be highly 
capable at your area of expertise (which for FlightGear was sparse until 
now).

Erik
