did 1c ever consider making a civilian flight sim to replace the msfs gap

Flying low over FSX scenery makes you want to hit a tree, although I think FSX has other good points and decent addons. If the new IL-2 game engine survives and improves, it has the potential to be a very good base for civilian user made content, like aircraft, and map improvement mods. The IL-2 game engine was initially designed to evolve with technology over the next ten years or so, unfortunately the engine can't start evolving until its finished, and it appears it may be done, before its finished. lol
