I can understand your disappointment, but the unfortunate truth is flightsims do not make the sort of money that a FPS or console shooters will make, while the development period is very much longer and more difficult, meaning most flightsims these days are released to early and have serious issues on release, the upside is they are usually supported a lot better than an FPS and the entertainment they supply usually lasts a lot longer.
With the cost of good peripherals this is more of a hobby than anything and it is a hobby where patience is required, at $50au I cant really lose, its worth that IMO just for the cockpit modelling, the other COD cost me $99au and was fun for about 3-6 months and then the next version is released for another $99au, you sometimes have to put things into perspective, overall the outlay for this will hopefully be worth every penny.
