However I got the impression we are going to get even more scripted campaigns with BoB which doesn't bode well for offline players. I often find scripted campaigns have zero replay value.
I did not knock civil flight sims and simmers - I said they're after a vastly different experiences. All I am doing is doubting that a team as small as Maddox Games can do both worlds justice in one attempt without overtaxing their ressources, without sacrificing details for foul compromises.
And regarding Falcon 4's campaign engine - In my view it was a nice project that stopped halfway down the road (too technocratic presentation, too soul-less, unimmersive GUI), never worked convincingly until after 7 years of fiddling and ultimately broke the back of its creators.
