^^^ Exactly

And this is the reason ED stumble from one area to the next with no clear direction in th desktop area.

They're reactive to their commercial arm rather than pro-active for the desktop products.

Like Johnny says, if ED got a new military contract tomorrow the whole landscape for desktop projects would change again. I don't buy into ED having a clue what direction they're heading in at all and their track record and choices they've made along the way reflect this.

It's frustrating and disappointing at the same time because they do release good products (eventually). I just fear that the so-called 'vision' of DCS will never ever be realised. Lets be honest, given how long its taken to get to the stage they are at now and it's still only the tip of the iceberg I don't think our grandkids will get all the fun either. God forbid an engine upgrade into DX13 in 5 years time.......
