Yes, I just had a look at the dev mailing list and there James T. wrote something about launcher bugs in 2071.2.1 to be adressed, so there is hope.
And clearly you can't erase bugs without clear info and bug reports like "sh*t doesn't work, don't know why" are not exactly encouraging. On the other hand (esp. for new users) FG is not 100 percent transparent - e.g. the Forum rules refer to FGrun (which is not included anymore) and the console (the console option in 17.2.1.'s launcher does not work and user has to find out how to edit the program shortcut to see the console). So positive interest, patience and curiosity on all sides would be the ideal. (Now give me some Paisley summer of love liveries;-)
