Re: Skysim / TeamSDB Political Correctness?

Reply to ChrisH. Dramatisation is OK but to distort the truth is not. If people cannot accept that the past has unpalatable truths, then we are going down a very dangerous road of denial. In the case of the Dambusters the dogs' name was a very important part of the event. It was used as a codeword a...

Re: Skysim / TeamSDB Political Correctness?

I think it is irrelevant what the dogs' name was. If you are making a film that is supposed to depict a real event in history, you stick to the facts however palatable or unpalatable they may be.

I don't think you can take Mother Nature for granted whatever aircraft you are in. It could have been anything it's all just speculation at the moment. It could eve...
