So where is all the new players?

[White Owl]

Anybody in North America who made a habit of keeping up with the game prior to the official release already bought it from Just Flight weeks or months ago. All that's left are the poor souls who haven't been staying on top of things. These guys installed the game yesterday or today, don't know how to optimize the game so it'll run smoothly, are just now realizing they don't know how to start the engine anymore, and if the engine does start they're trying to figure out why the radiator explodes after five seconds. What, this isn't just '46 with shadows in the cockpit?

Then they're fiddling with a hundred graphics options, searching for the sweet spot for their rig. They're assigning a boatload of new keybindings. They're practicing and testing over and over again. They're trying to play the stock offline campaigns.

In short, these guys who haven't been reading the forums all these months are going to need just a little bit of time to figure out how to play the game before they start showing up on servers. I hope enough of them wise up and start looking around for advice. Can you imagine trying to figure this sim out on your own?
