Well, glad you liked my mini-"review" guys.
@ Heliocon: No worries, from some point on i can't really draw any authoritative lines since a lot of it comes down to what kind of problems bother us the most in any computer game, or how much we're willing to put up with in exchange for a completely new feature, the weight we put on any particular redeeming qualities or the lack of a certain feature, etc...there's just too much room for personal taste here for me to waltz in and throw a definitive "the state of the sim is such and such,now agree with me" statement.
That's why i tried to put it in a format that says "it does X well, Y doesn't work yet and it could do Z in the future" and let people make up their own minds.
What i'm trying to say is there's definitely no offence taken, i might disagree with some of what you say but i can also understand what you mean and your reasons behind your viewpoint, simply because there's no universal set of evaluation criteria that could simultaneously match what we all want and expect from the sim.
