Apples and oranges isn't it really?

As I have said many times, MSFS in it's countless variations is not a flight sim. It's a flight procedure simulator. A very different market indeed than a combat flight simulation. I doubt that any of the wannabe ATCs and trans Atlantic "pilots" in the Microsoft product have any clue what a proper FM or DM is, nor do they care. It's all about the procedure of flying, following the script (flight plan) of their "flight" to the letter is what is important to them.

The cattle car driver's viewpoint is very different than ours is.

Where SoW can make inroads into the "civilian" flight sim market will be in aerobatic flying and virtual air racing. Both of which depend a lot on proper modeling of the aircraft both structurally and in terms of the performance envelope.
