Ive been playing Falcon 4.0 online in various versions for over 6 years...never once through Hyperlobby
Flight Simulation doesn't begin and end with Hyperlobby!
There is another world out there...Offline, Squadron based, Peer to Peer, Co-op missions...that make up the vast majority of play!
Pfft!! Be all that as it may be... I bet the numbers still don't add up to Hyperlobby on a good night. I bet cyberspace is teaming with people flying all those great sims online....

Could it be that the online functions of those other games suck?
I dont know... the only sim I ever had the chance to fly that "benifitted" from modding was the MS series... and the rest I can only speak about from hearsay.. but from what I saw of the MS series.. sure there were some good mods out there... but I think I DLd more bad ones than good.. and after a while I got tired of trying to keep track...

I do agree with you on that last one though Jason... about the DF rooms.. I got tired of that in the FFAs on the Zone... in fact if I hadnt discovered IL2 I might not e en be simming now... I am sure I am not alone in that respect either.
