Pointing out the lack of game responsiveness and feedback

If this is the biggest problem for you in the game, then you don't have any problems.

"It's current year! Program the game to my lieking!"

Again with the ad-hominem attacks. You're not winning if you target the poster and not the post.

That's not what an ad hominem is. An ad hominem is a character attack in lieu of an argument. Here, let me give you an example.

Argument: "The sky is blue because God made it blue"
Ad hominem: "no, you're wrong, because you're an idiot"

See how no counter-argument was offered? Such as the following:

Counter-argument: "no, you're wrong, the sky is blue because of Mies scattering. Idiot."

Was there an insult? Yes. But it wasn't made in place of an argument, it was made alongside one. The argument is still there, therefore, it's not an ad hominem.

On the internet, nobody knows if you're actually a fully trained Navy Seal, or a dog. Which brings me to YOUR fallacy. Your 'qualifications' (claimed, not demonstrated) are not an argument. That is an appeal to authority. If you know what it takes to make it work, then tell us. Show us. Otherwise, nobody has any reason to believe or care about what you claim to know. Or, as our math teachers all once said: show your work.

At the end of the day, you have raised such a tiny non-issue with this game that I don't even know where to begin. Even in DCS, which I play frequently, the 'pilot' in the cockpit only ever moves the stick and throttle around, and despite you, the player, flicking all kinds of switches for various reasons, all you ever see is the switch in the cockpit move, with no hand to flick it. What you have to do, to enjoy the game, is get over it. It's such a small thing, it shouldn't be too much trouble for a serious scholar like yourself.
 
Actually, they should and always do. It's called 'suspension of disbelief'. You do it yourself, otherwise you'd complaining about instant repairs, refueling, cargo loading, respawning, etc.



You're not winning by fallacy spotting either.

You might as well start saying, "I'm rubber and you're glue." Because that's what it sounds like.
 
So you mean to say we're actually spacemen in the future and not just pretending using this computer program?

Don't be silly. You know what I mean. The visual imagery and animation to "suspend disbelief" should be in game so you don't have to imagine them.
 
Elite runs smooth as butter on my pc. No responsiveness problems. Also my avatar's hands move the controls when i do, in flight.

I tend to meet my imaginary gameplay elements halfway. I already came to terms with not being liquefied by 80g boost turns, so if my pretend fingers don't move when I'm parked working out of the station screen it doesn't bother me either. That is waaay down the verisimilitude list.

I'm not interested in SCUM-levels of avatar replication. A certain level of abstraction is necessary or else you get lost in the tiny unimportant details and question the entire fake reality on a bunch of ultimately irrelevant points instead of having fun pretending to be a spaceman. Elite is just a really excellent cardboard box in those terms.

Not to mention I have my controls on a different arrangement so when I move my pedals, the avatar's hands move the stick. Rather than worrying about such levels of immersive fidelity I just don't let it get to me.
 
Incidentally, as an Oracle developer myself for many years ... what has Oracle got to do with games development? :rolleyes:

Other than the off chance of Frontier using Oracle as the dbms in their ED infrastructure instead of making their own, which still has little to no relevance to the supposed OP issue of FD lacking concurrent coding expertise, it's just a nonsensical distraction & obfuscation like this trollbait thread.

Maybe you should be liquefied.

Will you quit claiming the thread is trollbait? You know that's not true. You're just trying to corrupt the narrative.
