Great update, thx!
Oleg, with MSFS dropping out of the game, I think you have an opening for making civilian flight sims based on the SoW engine. I really wouldn't want to see that personally, because I like to shoot things up, but I think you could do it, and that is where the really big money is.
The whole issue will be decided by how you approach the third-party developer issue. How to make tools for them. How to allow them or not allow them access to core features. Third party involvement is essential, because one single developer can never satisfy the thirst for content by modern-day users.
If you step back from all the extremely detailed issues these forums are full of, I think you should try considering yourself more like someone setting the ground rules for a whole industry, rather than just a developer of a single product. It would be the next step.
