Why do we need the patch?

I doubt that the developers intended BOP for consoles to be a title for dedicated Flight SIM fans. Firstly, the game relies on the Raalistic and SIM levels to be unlocked from Arcade level which I suspect was the main target market for consoles. A dedicated flight SIM title would not require SIM or Realistic to be 'unlocked' as these options would be available from boot up. I see this title as an introductoin to flight Sims and, in that respect, it does a pretty good job. The problem is that many of us are SIM enthusiasts and the compromised thinking about the target market has caused a lot of disatisfaction. May be the developers saw BOP for Consoles as a means to extend the SIM market for the PC title and encourage console owners into that market for serious Simming. The devs tried to give everyone a reasonable console game for a wide spectrum of players rather than a serious SIM title for a smaller market. In that respect they succeeded.
