Where are the game elements in this sim?

Certainly, they were nothing I could not already do for myself, and I've had a blast creating missions for myself over the years.

I'm certainly not saying that there should be nothing provided by the developers...not saying that at all...but long-term I've always felt that it was user generated content in all it's forms which has kept me coming back to the game.

I'm glad that works for you but let me give you an example of my situation. I'd like to play a quite long Stuka campaign with medals and promotions right now problem is there is none so I have to wait for someone to make one because I don't have the time and I also don't want to know every little detail about the mission that I'm about to fly. As I said before though, maybe I had the wrong expectations on this game. I'm not shelving the game, I'm just not playing it at the moment, hopefully the almighty community will produce some cool stuff within a year or so and I can actually start playing the game instead of just tweaking it.
