You say something like this everytime you work on a new project and everytime I tell you how much I appreciate your work. Look, I sometimes get dissapointed because people don't seem to be as interested in my radio chatter language packs for the same reason. Big deal! I still see that people are downloading them and using them. Besides, I know I am making a big contribution to the comunity, and that's what we are, a community. Talon, believe me when I say you are one of this community's biggest contributors and I fly every one of your campaigns almost as soon as they are released.
Maybe making planes is a little more "global" than the combat aspects of CFS2. In other words, they attract people from other flightsimulators who are not as interested in combat as they are flying. Regardless, everyone comes back to CFS2 to fly a campaign or a mission once in a while. Its just more fun. When they do so, they recognize your name as one of the standards by which all missions are judged. So keep up the good work my brother!
