I always said that the numerous and well known bugs in the flight physics models of realistic and simulator modes would be pretty much impossible to fix on a game core system that loads off of a DVD as opposed to a hard drive.
When Taldren fixed all the bugs in Star Fleet Command on the PC, they issued a whole new software core free in 2001. They actually issued another further free upgrade software core the same way in 2002.
Star Fleet Command is the PC version of the famous board game Star Fleet Battles and the number one reason that Star Trek Legacy flopped and sank without trace on the PC as everybody measured it up against SFC.
It is pretty easy to issue replacement software cores for games on hard drive loading systems, they can be changed.
However, DVDs are set in stone and a replacement DVD would be required to be issued, which isn't practical.
Let's just wait for the sequel and hope that 1C reverts back to using Ubisoft as a distributer again.
Despite its failings, BOP is the best WW2 flight simulator game around on the consoles.
