The problem is that a good quality flight sim needs to evolve with add ons (missions, a/c, maps, etc) that they can charge for. Any DLC, patches and upgrades just don't work on consoles due to the costs, licensing, QA requirements, file size limits, etc. The market is just too small to be profitable. Though the developers are not allowed to discuss the current title, due to contractual reasons, I cannot see any reason that would prevent them divulging development of a sequel. Which poses a question - when was the last comms from the devs regarding a console sequel? I would be most happy to be proved wrong or overly pessimistic believe me!
Very true. Flight sims are a niche all alone. Even a bigger niche on console. These devs are extremely busy putting the finishing touches on their latest creation IL-2 Cliffs of Dover that is due out in the west April 19. Already out in beta in the east.
