I don't totally agree with this. Yes, CFS did have a large following but IL2 also built up a fair-sized following very quickly after its release. The CFS crowd didn't start to move across until two or three years after the launch of IL2, but there were already a lot of people enjoying it. Hyperlobby's connection ability had to be enlarged a couple of times in order to fit in the regular 1000+ of on-line users. and others were using ASE or Direct IP to play regularly. Then add in the 1000s who prefer to play off-line and you start to get the picture of a very popular combat flight sim.
