Interesting. I wouldn't call it "good" or "well rounded". I'd call it "adequate" but "limited".

It has good points (how it looks in-cockpit plus player models) but there is a lot that is still poor.

LOD (disappearing/invisible aircraft wind me up)
Weather systems missing or unuseable online
No co-op mode
Poor campaign
Trees flickering and insubstantial
Poor engine optimisation
etc

That they released it in such a poor state, and couldn't fix it in time, is what killed it. If it had been good on release, or massively improved in a short time, it would have lived. You cannot whine about people expressing their dissatisfaction when that dissatsisfaction was right.

NO

will it do....

NO

They had my money, and lot of others' money besides. I don't like buying something only to get it 18 months later - not really good business sense.

You don't have to buy BoS if you don't want to. It'll be the only game in town but you don't have to play or even be negative about it. Wow, I'm starting to sound like the fanboys who said I should have checked the forums before buying CLOD (depsite showing my support by a pre-order).
