Vast majority of "western" people I have explained to that I'm flying sims have one common question: "Why don't you get a pilots license?" Most people see a game as a game, not a 50hour a week learning experience.

Very true, and a major reason why simulators of all types can never compete with arcade games in terms of sales.

But having said that, no game I've played has immersed me like Il-2, GTR etc.
Very few games last more than a week or maybe two on my drive; a sim can last years.

In short, I'm glad there are developers who still make simulators.

Americans want the daylight bombing campaign over europe 1943-45. Pacific is a more distant second. Make this with a good single-player campaign and they will come; B-17's, B-24's, etc. I don't believe 1C would be willing to pay the fees in order to get all the Ami aircraft

Korea is a no go along with NA (but it's my personal favorite).
