Exactally!

I mean it would be one thing if this was the mid 1990 aka the hey-day of PC flight sims..

Where we had choices in flight sims.. ala Dynamix (RB, AOTP, AOE), MICROPROSE (PAW1942, EAW), Spectrun Holobyte (Falcon 3.0), LucasArts (SWOTL), etc..

But we don't!

The hey-day of flight sims has long since passed..

Game makers and those who invest in games realised a long time ago that flight sims are a nitch market.. Read not alot of money to be made there..

Thus the only people who do them these days are those who just love what they do and know that there are a few who love what they do and will buy thier product, thus filling the nitch!

But I fear this CoD experance is going to drive away the few flight sim makers left in that the customers these days are far less willing to work with them like they were in the past and far more demanding and expect prefection when prefection can and never will be reached by anyone

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
