Supporting Ilja and a sad "thing" called self-entitlement..
the TL;DR, stop whinging, turn off RainFX until Ilja fixes it.
I write quite a bit of software for a jewellery specific CAD program, plugins, importer/exporters, and bridges betweens it and various ERP's, for 1000 lines of code that does not seem to do much, might take me a month to get it hobbling along, a month or two more in beta before I release a working version, and for sure 3-6 months of fixes as the users discover all new ways to break it. Unlike Ilja I get paid VERY handsomely for what I do because it has huge financial impact for the company, the team can output 3X as much work as they used to be able to etc..
BUT
Just because Ilja's time is consumed making essentially a grown kids game, it is not considered valuable, that however does not change the investment in time, skill, and of course software costs to him, so irrespective that I dont even use RainFX much, I happily support him, because it makes it worthwhile for him to see a return on all the effort, open CM or CSP and look at how much IS in there and working.. at some point all of that was in the state RainFX is now.
I have great respect for the rabbit he already pulled out of the hat on this, and for all the other rabbits yet to come, and it will come when it comes no doubt.
Sorry to rant, but, get my goat when people sign up to patreon for 2 bucks and whinge about how hard done by they are now that they bought him, and he works for them.. If i was doing what he was doing and copping as much **** about it as he does, I'd have hung up my hat ages ago and told everyone to go get ****ed, and left AC in the dark ages.![]()
I am not sure where you have read on here people moaning about rain fx?
Someone asked about if its worth it and i said it very much is for as much or as little as you want to invest....
Regards the "paying 2 bucks and moaning about it" well he currently has nearly 3,000 patroens so even at 2 bucks a pop that is 6k a month, so well worth a few negative nitpickers.
Plus the money from CM, he must of cleared 500,000 grand from his work on AC by now.
Also people are free to moan or whatever even over free stuff, such is life. No point getting triggered by it really.
If PCars 3 was free i'd still moan about SMS...
People moan about sim dream whilst simultaneously getting their stuff for free on other forums... just they way it is.
If you don't like moaning or entitlement, the internet is not the place for mind peace...
