Ever flown FSX?

I have, and it's terrible. Poor terrain meshes, no FMs to speak of, no damage or collision modeling. Why? Because to have a total world modeled for folks who want to fly across the Atlantic in thier Boeing or Air Bus, and have all the ATC functions, and still have it playable on a home PC, something has to give, and that something is the immersive realism of our air combat sim.

But this discussion is rather pointless now anyway, as any decisions about how systems modeling are to be done were taken long ago. The way the sim will be is already set in stone.

We just have to see what we get.
