Can only be good for the sim to inject some new blood I reckon. And there will be folk who cross over to aircraft in this way. |
Based on man's history one could say that the desire to fly is common to most if not all.. I don't know of one person that has not looked up at a bird and said 'I wish I could fly'.. Granted I am sure there are a few who are really afraid of heights that may take pause, but for most the desire is there.. Most people who voice concerns of flight are the passenger types.. It is that lack of being in control that makes them uneasy, closets analogy is that feeling you get when riding on the back of a motorcycle. I think what keeps most game players away from flying is it actually takes time to learn how to do it.. Unlike most games.. But, if Cod can pull in the tanker types.. I think that after they get blown up a few times in a row by the same plane.. They may find the motivation to invest the time to learn to fly and go after those guys in the sky (read cross over). In summary, I think the desire is there for most, just not enough for most to invest the time to learn how to fly a plane.
