Christmas is coming so

I think a significant patch which targets subjective areas would really propel this sim. The recent patch has dumbed down a lot of awesome features: the lighting, the cockpits, the brilliant terrain colours in Beta 1; and I believe that if they reverted back to older work and then pushed the graphic engine further, the sim could evolve brilliantly.
Of course, such a patch would include new, enitcing features. I guess one could call it a monster patch. If it was marketed well, as well, that would be brilliant too.

+1 to Trumper's original post.

Expect new chip prices (CPU/GPU) to go up (or at least not drop in price for a while). There is massive flooding in Thailand and the areas of Bangkok that manufacture the majority of the world's chips are either under water or are about to be underwater.
