Those of you who are familiar with and have used "real world" flight simulators know that all the requested detail people whine about in IL2 and SOW is just not the norm for "real world" simulators.
Simulators generally have definite purposes and they are designed to achieve those purposes. That doesn't mean they have dzus fasteners graphically articulated throughout the skin of every aircraft.
IMO, I am fine with IL2 detail levels... Great fixes are already underway with TD, improved AI, navigation, etc. On the fly weather changes would be a welcome improvement, along with a very comprehensive mission builder.
The Online IL2 game is now and always has been the most popular of all the air combat flight simulators. Look at the continued interest in IL2 on all the forums that discuss air combat simulations. IL2 is always the most posted discussions.
If BOB SOW wasn't a near term project and we knew nothing of it; the embellishments to IL2 available now would be suffice. Interest in IL2 would still be the front runner air combat sim, including all new and pending releases.
