Sim vs Game plus opportunity

MS Flight and X-Plane will probably have the civilian market cornered. Trying to get a piece of that smallish pie would be quite a feat.

The better FM and DM is not really that relevant when you are trying to setup a visual approach to 27R at O'hare using your sectionals as a reference

I suspect the two "non-combat" areas Oleg's new sim may excel at are:

1) Air Racing

2) Aerobatics

Microsoft Flight is in development, Xplane 10 too, and Aerosoft announced their intention to do a civilian sim too, so the market is going to be quite busy already. Oleg should probably better explore other niches (his idea of extending to ground and sea war sim in addition to being an aerial one sounds great in that regards, bringing us a more complex ArmA set in the WWII, I'd buy that). Anyway, I'd guess the most secure option for him is to extend the content and release expansions just as he did for IL-2, this is sure to work again.

Just my opinion, but i think a "Red Bull" style air racing game would be popular with the younger crowd, especially if it included the correct course's in all the different countries, and was marketed at the race meetings themselves.

Hopefully there are some air racing pylons and objects to use for Cliffs of Dover. I can already see the Su-26 being a very interesting air racer in addition to aerobatics work.

Of course I'd be just as interested to race a Tiger Moth
