"Also, your engines are too small and are under the wing. They should be big and in front of it. The thrust reversers are wrong. They look like an MD80s. They should just slide back."
I never actually got those (that I can remember), but I bet at least a few people have. What's the dumbest complaint you ever got?
For those of us who build mostly classic jets, I don't even know if the "your fans don't spin" even counts anymore. I think it's just part of the release schedule at this point. "And at 10:00 a.m., someone will complain that the IGVs don't spin. Lunch at 10:30."
I seem to remember at least one 737 model came with a list of 737 quirks to head off complaints that "Your wheels are exposed when retracted! They should have doors!" and so on. One can only imagine the perils of releasing a Falcon or Convair with aft fan engines.
Was it the Archer that provoked the "great Dreamfleet dihedral argument of 2000-something?" I can't remember. I do remember that it went on for months.
