Combat flight sims, perhaps

But a better question is: why does the general public care?

How's this for a parallel:

I have been into old cars for almost 20 years. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars, bought cars, sold cars, built engines, suspensions, etc, restored lenses and instruments and body panels and chrome and whatnot and gone to shows and entered cars in shows and worked 12 hours on collector cars a day AFTER my 8 hour day job and researched and helped others and chased down original reference, and scoured junkyards for the elusive parts blah blah. I know going into this it would be expensive, time consuming...and not something most people cared about, but it was a passion.

Many people appreciated what I had done, and ohhhh'd and ahhhh'd over things I did, but they never actually got into the hobby- they registered that it was "cool", and then moved on to the things that they, personally, cared about

Same thing with combat flight sims. Plenty of people might think it's cool, but most of them just register the fact and then move on without getting involved
