That is the kind of people who wouldn´t touch a "SIMULATION" with all the difficulties and "hardships" if they would get paid for it.
Of course a real SIMULATION would interest the "Flight Simulator" Flyers, but then the difference between carrying cattle from europe to the us of a and flying a combat sortie is huge.
Enough rambling, the floor is open.

I'm not sure if you quite grasp what a truely arcade like experience is but IL-2 earns its right as a full on air combat simulation. That is that it does its best to simulate reality given the available tools for such a simulation.
Don't mistake the people who fly on a particular server as enjoying only one kind of mode either. I like to play on the "full switch" servers sometimes as well as on the more moderate and "arcade" like servers where things are less accurate and generaly faster paced. Each of these offers me different experiences and I enjoy them all in different ways. And I'm not alone...not in the slightest.
Yes the game could be made more complex and "more real" but at the end of the day its still a matter of sitting next to your computer and playing on a flat screen. If you want to do the real thing then sign up to be a fighter pilot tomorrow!
