Playing other flight sims/games? Sticking to IL46, waiting for others to come out...? Waiting for this to be playable before buying the sequel? Not buying any further products from this company - if things are not fixed - on principle? Plenty of options.

Sure, there is somethign to be said for supporting genres (and developers) but equally, there's somethign to be said for accepting things at face value and not accepting any old half-finished dishwater (though penty on here have shares in crystal balls, and rosy futures).

Clearl, the devs are wading through a morass of old granny's-knitting-basket code and there is no clear sign that they will be able to sort it all out. The signs are that they will probably keep mending and patching - for a while - and that things may keep breaking. And that's before we get to having dynamic weather/dyn campaign, or even a BOB game 9(ue comments about the community 'stepping in' to provide all this, from the crystal ball gazers)

It depends how extensive the graphics code re-write is, and how well it fits in with the rest of the code. All unknowns.

Basically, it depends how long you're willing to keep waiting, and whether you think BoB will be dropped like an anchor as soon as is feasible.

Lots of tea-leaves to read.
