For goodness sake, give over harping on about priorities. THEY ARE FIXING THE SIM AS A PRIORITY - we all know that.
We've already had the excellent SOUND REWRITE and in a few days we'll also see the much awaited GRAPHICS REWRITE with hopefully a big FPS improvement. Last week we heard about the progress of the GROUND PHYSICS REWRITE, COLLISION MODEL REWRITE and FLIGHT MODEL IMPROVEMENTS including the modeling of airflow over different sections of wing.
Now it's real difficult to show a lot of that stuff in picture or video form and Luthier probably wants to keep the graphics upgrade under wraps due to the colour whine fest we had last time.
BUT, the community demands something interesting to see every Friday. Mmmmm, what can we give them? Ahh, yes, we've got some tasty video of the player controlled ground models - let's show 'em that.
That is all that has happened. No change in priorities, no change in the direction of the product, no abandonment of the flight sim element. Just showing us a cool feature that MAY be introduced in some form one day and has actually been in the pipeline for years. Remember the old name "Storm of War"? The virtual battlefield was part of the Oleg vision from the start.
Now, please stop whining and start treating this as the cool extra feature it is, and a very impressive one at that. If we're not careful we'll go straight back to no updates on a Friday.
