I'm not convinced that the manable vehicles are the right direction for a cutting edge flight sim to be going in. the raging arguement seems to be that this is an entirely seperate develpment to the flight sim aspects of the game and doesn't detract from that at all. Not sure if I'm buying that tbh. I'm not saying the idea doesn't have merit, it sort of sounds like a reverse version of Arma2 where you have a detailed FPS and semi arcade aircraft, CoD would be the opposite. I still think that it is the kind of thing that would have been better suited to forming a 'ground forces' expansion pack further down the line. I suppose for that matter it may come out like that anyway ?

Encouraging news about the patch, smooth and stable gameplay has to be step one for this now.
