This isn't the place to get into a debate about on-line vs. off-line. Other posters have done a good job of explaining the importance of the off-line community.
I will make two points however:
1) On-liners tend to be more dedicated, hence more passionate and more active in doing things like skinning, co-op mission creation and modding. They are also more likely to spend time on internet forums.
2) In addition to composing the bulk of sales for IL2, the off-line community of "casual" gamers is the natural training ground for future on-liners. If you're dedicated enough to really learn to fly well off-line, to the point that even Ace AI doesn't challenge you, you'll eventually go online.
The two communities are like two hands on the same body. They mostly operate mostly independently, but they need each other.

I know it's not a new problem. No offense taken.
