why would violence be brought into flightsimming
this is a bad idea in my opinion , why oh why
for crying out loud
:doho:
also I noticed it's direct X10 but the hardware requirements are Direct X 9 ?
i tthought I read somewhere that direct x 9 hardware cannot run the direct x10 update........
maybe thats where the mild violence comes in ...... from computer crashes.... :brick:

Re: FSX: Acceleration gets Mild Violence Rating
I'd imagine it's because of the Hornet carrying weapons. Even though you can't use them it still needs a mild violence rating to appease certain people.
Regarding your comment about violence being brought into flight simming; given that the vast majority of simulators are combat based and combat is inherently violent (just because you aren't playing a first person shooter where you can see the guts and gore doesn't mean you aren't simulating killing people) I support a rating on these games.
Whilst the rating on the FSX Acceleration pack seems a bit ludicrous I suppose if you're a hardcore pacifist you may object to the addition of military hardware being included in the Acceleration package for instance. At the end of the day it's simply an advisory, I don't know anyone that actually pays attention to them.

Hi Folks
ESRB 10+ is really low,
even The Simpsons get a higher rating.
The use of the 'mild violence' tag
may be marketing led
to 'stuff' the slot
ensuring one of the other tags are not applied.
May contain crashing, explosions, people & :lazy: dying.
Can instill a desire to throttle the competitor who just cut you up. :flying:
As for the sling & hoist ops.
:@
you might wish to ensure the kids are |-) or .
