I mostly agree with you. I think there is some promise is continuing with the synth sounds...but they need to be alot better and far more authentic. I think they used to be better than they are now...I guess like the FM its being stretched with all of the different types of engines and aircraft and that sort of thing.

But none of the aircraft sound much at all like their real life counter parts. They conform to sound physics but they don't sound real. The step will be to blur the two so most people don't notice.
