Hudson,
I am using V5.0
Good for you. That's very unfortunate.
My general experience with software upgrades is that in a number of cases the upgrade solved one set of problems but created others, and that is my opinion and one reason that I won't sign up for an upgrade whenever one is announced.
That's nice. So, the rest of us should try to fix whatever problems you're having because you won''t do the sensible thing?
Since you've gotten specific, let me answer you point by point.
First, the latest update includes cell phone features that I won't use.
That's faulty reasoning. DCS 6.1 also includes corrections to bugs, some of which are lashup issues.
Second, I have learned to "live with" some of the problems that each particular version had.
Another bad reason. Those problems in previous release are typically corrected in later releases.
Third, some of the "fixes" included with updates are not well identified or vague, and at times difficult to determine.
That's another poor reason to not upgrade. If you can't understand what the upgrade does, ask someone who can spell it out for you.
Fourth, since I started with V2.10, each update has brought new issues.
That's a reason? Every version of Windows required fixes. Just like Windows, every DCS bug is typically corrected in a future release. However, you'll never know, will you?
As long as you see the upgrade glass as half-empty rather than as half-full, you're going to be complaining about bugs that have already been corrected.
