Play flight sims on PC that are well supported. Flight sims are for people with the patience to overcome the inherent steep learning curve. Given that, I don't think a community for hardcore flight sims can be built on console platforms where average attention spans are measures in seconds and the business model revolves around pumping out sequels.
It was nice while it lasted to see BOP on consoles, but I doubt a real large flight sim community will ever be found anywhere outside of PC flight sims going foward.

I think console sims can do just fine if they are not fumbled as badly as BoP (sorry).
The thing that is killing the game is the MP lobby system. I would expect that from a PS2/XBOX game.
