Free Flight, Free Speech

2. From the user point of view. I don't like the new FG release nomenclature. It's not economic using chat or speaking, because the repeated mantra is so long. Also because it breaks the normal "numberology" we used to.*

3. It seems the decision to change the default airport have been taken on dev's scale. * For sure there should be some reasons by consensum. ??

4. Having number #2 and #3. I see some economy advantages (fom the user POV). Answering the regular question, What version of Flightgear do you use? "FlightGear Rio" or "FlightGear Barcelona" etc etc. Sounds good. Still not economic. But a good platform for a specific promotion of FlightGear (need more than an specific screen splash included).

5. Been #1 I mean point one I vote SFO. But as a spaniard guy I should vote to Barcelona, for scenery like I should vote Rio Janeiro. If for lag reasons I shouldn't vote any. If for tradition and fun I should vote San Fran. If for event tradition only I should vote Oskosh. If by merit and complexity I should vote LOWI. But if I voted for any of the list I'll kill my own 5 FPS. Still in Sanfran I can fly around a lot of little airports, grass, dirty, asphalt, and deck, with a lot of ambience around. We were newbies once in SFO. Do you? I love newbies, they are our present and future.

6. Hoping to get repaired sfo terrain (flood when drought). Still SanFran has more to offer than the other airports areas. I dare you to list the activities you can have in your liked airports vs sf.
Still SanFran wins

7. A popular votation of a consensed dev group decision doesn't legitimate a break of the tradition, just another reason For what I appeal to the first amendment.

8. Having #7 I've started a series of expontaneous protests (no party here) in order to spread out my concern about loosing our sim tradition, under the tag #saveKSFO.

9. Been not the fist protest in FG, we protagonized a big one in SanFran with anti sopa pipa specific callsigns, I post you here how it looked likes yesterday's protest in sfo, with a lot of old sfo friends expontaneously connected (no party here) who love KSFO since forever, they were really concern about to break tradition.

KSFO area has 4 airports (KSFO, KNUQ, KOAK, KSJC) that are in close range of each other. That is where I first learned FlightGear. Having the airports close is great for testing planes, learning to fly, etc.

Also alot of noobies won't update thier FlightGear, or keep using KSFO, and they won't change, so what is the point?

They also create traffic for fighter jets to practice firing aim, since the KSUU only about 30-50nm away.

Keep KSFO as the default!!!

On another aspect it also looks like no one has activated his brain when starting this vote. A very important question is: Which airport and environment do we want to pollute with planes crashing into each other. If you ask me i'd say the South Pole. Not anywhere in Europe, which is currently known for being an area with many well behaved pilots.

I disagree with having been a newbie at KSFO. In fgrun there was an option to choose your airport, and i used it. How stupid disinterested can you be if you miss that option. Better go to the South Pole then.

Kind regards, Vincent
