I'm this close to feck this. I wish that the americans or swedes would take an interest in combat flightsim as obviosuly the russians suck at programming and customer care.

Neither Americans nor Swedes will produce another quality combat flight sim, for the same reason that 1C is now struggling - money. Americans used to produce the best sims, until the financial realities of having the necessary large, highly competent team caught up. 1C was able to reap the benefits of the skilled Russian workforce for longer due to the financial situation there, but it has caught up with them too now. Fact: A large, intelligent, qualified body of developers will make more money more efficiently (ie enough to actually survive as a company for a start) doing something else, NOT flightsims. I doubt we will see another WW2 flight sim in the forseeable future (with the possible exception of a 777-developed one, itself highly debatable). It's just too niche - the production time and effort required for the level of fidelity needed yields almost no rewards.
Flight sim limitations have long since moved from the technical, to the financial IMHO.
