I couldn't agree more.

After 9 days, 71 votes and 1270 views the board looks like this: 1. AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo 19 votes 2-3. Grumman S-2 Tracker/Chengdu J-20 13 votes 4-5. Mirage 2000N/Alpha Jet-E 12 votes 6-7. Mirage 2000D/ /F-16 XL 11 votes 8-9. KAI T-50 Golden Eagle/F-35 10 votes 10-11. TRAINING Eurofighter/F-94 Starfire 9 votes 12. Lockheed U-2S 8 votes 13-14. Mirage G8/F9F Panther 7 votes

Knowing that, now I sleep much more peacefully :) If you would have read "What will be next" thread carefully, you would've noted the Training Jaguar "word" (see the post above)

I'd say that there was more than a hint about the training Jaguar. This is a shot from the first page of "What will be next thread":

So, for people who maybe misread the poll data, I emphasize that the versions for SU-15, Eurofighter and Jaguar are TRAINING ones , ok ? Who read the posts carefuly in the "What it is next" thread, knew that.

No, you are not late. SPECAT Jaguar (TRAINING version) is still in the books, for another 5 days or so.

After 8 days (67 votes/1091 viewers) the situation is as it follows: 1. AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo 17 votes 2. Grumman S-2 Tracker 13 votes 3-4. Mirage 2000N/Alpha Jet-E 12 votes 5-6. Mirage 2000D/Chengdu J-20 11 votes 7. KAI T-50 Golden Eagle 10 votes 8-9-10-11. Eurofighter/F-94 Starfire/F-35/F-16 XL 9 votes 12. Lockheed U-2S 8 votes

Umm...Don't have any problem with the eventual people who will protest about results. I don't mind. What I remember clearly was that the community inner core was larger than this. I was here when tens of members (veterans, old ones) spoke about one or another and long time not just a week or two. I didn't see their names here lately. (Dave, Fubar, Roussok, Paulo, FastCargo, Column5 and many others) Who knows maybe my memory is not that good nowadays... If 1000 (or more) would vote, I bet even you would be pleasently suprised. :)

One week and just 66 votes. A very little thin "core" until now. I was, personally, expecting a much more interest about the matter...Maybe a large part of community is too busy in the real life...and don't know anything about the subject yet.

1. AIDC F-CK-1 Chink-Kuo 16 votes 2. Mirage 2000N 12 votes 3-4-5. Grumman S-2 Tracker/Mirage 2000D/Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet-E 11 votes 6-7. Chengdu J-20/KAI T-50 Golden Eagle 10 votes 8-9-10. F-35 Lightning II/ Eurofighter Typhoon/ F-16 XL 9 votes

Well maybe your idea of a finale will pick up traction, don't give up :) We'll see.

I followed the vote every step. With one exception persons who voted Mirage N, also voted Mirage D so...the figure would be the same if it were Mirage D/N. If you voted 1p Mirage N and in the same time 1p Mirage D, still one point it would have had if it were alone (Mirage N/D), it wouldn't be double. So basically it's the same thing. I doubt that the large part of the whole sum who voted other planes already , would have barged in to vote the Mirage (N/D) if it would have been one plane.(Mirage N/D)

1. AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo 16 votes 2. Mirage 2000N 12 votes 3-4-5. Grumman S-2 Tracker/Mirage 2000D/Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet-E 11 votes 6-7. Chengdu J-20/ KAI T-50 Golden Eagle 10 votes

Alright. If a solid majority (from the ones who voted and new people who will vote till the deadline) rally to your idea of a "finale", maybe I will take into consideration the proposed system. But if you are in a "beyond any doubt" minority, obviously...I won't and it will remain the vote as it is. I think this resolution is fair enough.

I see your point, you want a real majority to support a winner. What do we do if even that 100% (let's pretend that they all vote) of members choose a winner with just 25% of the vote ? In a way the "majority" spoke, freely, what it wanted, right? If 100% would vote, still you wouldn't support a winner with just 25% ? Of course , here, we don't know if all, who are really interested to vote, voted. But as well, maybe that real "core" is the "100%" gathered by now, interested in voting and that's all there is. If let's say 50 or more percent of the whole members mass are not really interested in voting, you wouldn't know it either, isn't it ?, because they won't come here just to let us know that, right ? That is why I established a two week vote, hoping that we will gather , at least, a stable "core" of interested voters. For me, THAT is a realistic majority, the core, the ones really interested in voting. I also would like to hear other opinions as well about this matter ("let's take a second vote after the first" etc). Don't get me wrong, I DON'T want to impose anything here, I want exactly what I declared in the beginnings, a plane wanted and voted by YOU. So the discussion is open.

So if 1000, let's say, vote and 25% goes to X plane it wouldn't be clear who won ? Is that what you imply ? Of course, in our situation there's no such figure of 1000 (until now at least, there are 10 more days until the poll is closed), they are just 60 so far. But if , let's say if 60 is a representative figure of the actively community core, then why should we make a second round ? If, let's say for the sake of the argument, 60 (or even a little more) is the stable figure why bother futhermore ? Wouldn't be that representative enough ? THAT"S the question I would like to see it answered by you, let alone that ...you can't change the rules during the process once you already established them just because the outcome doesn't look as you hoped for.. It wouldn't be fair as a principle.

IMO, paying for just a single plane, no matter how great it looks and realistic etc etc full price, like you would buy a triple A game, is a rip off, out of the bat, pure and simple. I will NEVER, EVER pay full game price for just one plane, even if I can afford it to buy them all. Just my opinion. I'm talking about DCS of course.

4 days , 577 viewers, 60 votes. Taiwanese horse is still leading (with a clean 25%)

Have you seen ...my post in this thread ? I suggest you to take a look. After seeing it, I'm sure you'll think different and, of course, you will suddenly forget about a Viggen cockpit.

I didn't do that because there was that ramification for...bombers. So... If the website applet would've had the right lines (34) for the job, I would have kept the tandem. And if that were the case, it would have had a SINGLE vote, not two like today, so it's the same thing. I'm sure you are not implying to cummulate to votes for Mirage D and N, are you ? That would be...cheating.

Well I entered and left to check that, it seems that it does not registers that. Maybe after 24hours "detects" that it's "YOU" again.

After 3 days and 502 views of the thread the situation didn't changed. Hmmm...one in ten voted after looking to the thread.

I bow with humble deference and accept the praises! LOL

My mother knew Russian from school and learned me the Slavic alphabet when I was little. I know to read perfectly but I don't have a clue what words mean in Russian, Serbian or Ukrainian ! It's "KALUGA" written.

You forgooooot the real subject ???? Tststststs.... The real (and only) subject here it's... ME! LOL Just messing with you ;) Have you voted the most wanted one ? You diiiiiiiiiiid !? Then bring your friends, too, buy them an icecream and then send them to vote ;)
