How many non-combat simmers will the Su-26 attract?

[major_setback]

I wonder how many non-combat simmers the Su-26 will attract.
The whole CoD game costs less now (9 pounds where I live) than some of the better FSX add-ons.

Actually the Su-26 add-on for FSX costs 15 pounds!!!

None.

They get the environment, and a lot of other aircraft too for the price.

Compare the FSX environment: FSX su-26 on youtube -

I'm sure there will be a review of the Su-26 before long in the flight sim magazines, and on the general aviation sim sites.

I think it should appeal to a few, at least.

Anyone who flies civilian sims likely already has FSX. You think they're going to buy this buggy piece of trash for one single aircraft?

Yes.
General Aviation enthusiasts are used to forking out money for extras.
I flew FSX until I tired of it. I bought add-on scenery, planes etc.(shockwave WWII aircraft too) spending large amounts of money on my 'hobby'.
I also bought X-plane without flying it more than once. I'm sure I'm not the only fool out there.

As I stated, the whole of CoD is cheaper than one add-on for FSX, and you get more than one single aircraft. The Tiger Moth would interest a GA enthusiast.

Not buggy ones that are barely functional.

Not one of which is modeled appropriately, and ALL of which are subject to the completely bogus physics we have.

Aircraft flying with no tail or no wings? Please

Stop deceiving yourself.

I expect they would mock the sim and the Su-26 for its antimatter weapons. And rightly so. You can bet your arse that Oleg would never have allowed his product to be polluted by such idiot gimmicks.

I can assure you that there were many real world aerobatic pilots who were anxiously awaiting what was expected to be one of the best aerobatic flight models out there, if not the absolute, bar raising best.

Sure, I own every other sim there is, and use each one for what it does better than the others, but none of them, no sim ever produced does a very good job of modelling edge of the envelope physics as it pertains to aerobatic aircraft. I saw the potential of the IL-2 engine a long time ago, and that is why we were using Fw-190s as our demonstration aircraft, even though "FSX was out", as was X-Plane, Condor, LockOn, and more recently sims like Aerofly fs which is more or less dedicated to aerobatic flying, and day VFR "fun". Yet we still waited for a sim that wasn't a joke in the aerobatic FM department, we hoped the SU-26 would deliver.

At this point, I am unable to try it....and most of my acro friends are waiting on me to give them my review. I'm trying to ignore some of the silly things I see in the videos right now, and I'm ashamed that the thing has Rayguns and crap on it...but whatever, we'll see.
