Not true! All non-trivial Softwares are a complex beast that have problems and requires fixes, patches and updates.

Even Microsoft has been selling opperating systems and application software since 1975, knowning full well that every single one of their products require a 'great deal of development' and don't quite meet their aims.

In fact they have turned it into a marketing ploy and even stop supporting their older version of their software and force you to buy the newer flawed version just to get their support. And Flight sims just like office software are far from perfect. For the forseable future they will all be patched and updated and evolve. Either that or they will stagnate and die.

I think we are lucky that COD's developers are looking to the future and the long term viability of the series.

The patches don't come as much as I would like true. But at least they are still working on them. I've got boxes of Sim sitting in my shed that are not being supported.

Each and every one of the titles below were great sims or games. How many are still being supported by their developers?

Some classic games in that lot - EF2000 was the first mainstream flight sim I bought (after the sluggish but great 'Tornado' on the Amiga) and X Wing. A few of them well supported by fans x-wing mods, il2 etc, with Rise of Flight having the best developer support with new maps and aircraft.
