Yes, I am aware of what you mean. That'S why I differed between the simulation aspect of the helicopter, and the whole
package they sell. The simulation ofnthe machine if great, the package is sub-standard. I blindly believe that it is also a great sim for A-10's aircraft, their forum shows people celebrating already when they manage to do a takeoff after a dark&cold condition at startup. But I expect, after Flanker 1+2, LOMAC and BS, that the complete
package, the world, feels as sterile and lifeless as always - even during combat.
The developer does not lack in technical competence, they seem to have plenty and lots and lots of it. What they lack is a sense for ergonomic package handling, and general package design.
They have great storylines to tell - but they are lousy narrators. And they do not learn to improve on that - since many years.
