The Battle of Midway is the only one of your three that will make interesting and diverse flight sim.

In your personal opinion.

I found CloD to be a interesting and diverse flight sim experience, I just went into it not expecting to take a slight of P-38's up against a flight of FW-190's.

It is all about personal taste and realistic expectations, your idea of interesting is yours as is the same with anyone else.

If people are willing to fork out $1500, $2000, $2500 for a new PC to make a sim work, then wouldn't it sound plausable that we'd probably fork out over $300 (easy) for a flight sim that works (and meets most demands re: complexity, looks, realism, etc,.)?

At this point the "Domestic Bliss" factor enters into the equation.

It is easier to justify spending $20 every couple of months over couple of years than spending $300 outright on a computer game.

take my word for it!

Good for you, but you were in the minority. You can't argue against the results.
The BOB was a poor choice to begin " the next generation of flight sim ", it was executed and managed poorly as well. The vast majority of the sales are purchased by individuals who play single player offline campaign and mission building.

Hopefully this will continue in the future of the series!

Yeah but... THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN..

and it has less to do with anyone on these boards.. If you think the .. and I am using an inflated arbitrary number just to make a point.. that the 60 most vocal critics of CoD on these boards had more of an impact that the reviews on every PC game site and every online store review (granted some of them may have been the same people) then you are kidding your selves. None of us are that important. For that fortunate few who never had any issues with the sim great for them.. but for the vast majority who were more than willing and in many cases did plunk down good money on day 1 it was not fun.

Yeah, I know, thats why BoS is not going to have my money.

Crappy code and limited budget distroyed this Sim...had nothing to do with hate.

It was a combination of factors that caused the end. As in most plane crashes, there is seldom one cause.

But the venom that was spouted by a number of posters on this forum went above and beyond the call of duty.

It was as if Cliffs of Dover had attempted to ravish their mothers...

If I was a developer, there's no way after this experience that I would create a Forum. I would use tried and trusted Beta testers instead.
