Ah, my bad. It's only gone 1 year, 5 months and 17 days since the Mi-8 was released in its deplorable state. Of course it's not the least reasonable to expect that to have been addressed in such short time. I mean, it is a Beta after all.

That sounds like a lack of features as opposed to a lack of quality.

Okay, now that IS unacceptable. Why would you even bother simulating magnificent helicopter of glorious Mil design bureau if you are not going to take the time to simulate ingenious soviet climate control solution?
Or, you know, ED could make their own platform more "comfortable" to build for...
But sure, it's clearly FSX' fault that ED's behind on content, and devs are leaving the DCS pipe line.
Please feel free to deliberately miss point because you don't like it. You know exactly what I mean to say, but you just want to be a jerk about it. Unless you were shot in the head with a 30mm shell you can't possibly fail to understand. In return, I will now attempt to be a bigger jerk where possible, because I do not wish to allow you to be the bigger one. Why? Why not?
In case you WERE shot in the head with a 30mm shell:
FSX is easier to develop for than DCS World
The small number of developers who are capable of making planes for both are picking the easy route over the hard one If FSX didn't exist, they would have no choice but to make DCS planes instead, because FSX doesn't exist. Because it's not there.
I find the concept of a driving sim where you get in a car and drive from home to work and back and occasionally drive across state on a vacation dull and boring. I feel the same way about FSX.
I would love a world where FSX never existed so all developers would be devoting time to DCS World instead, no matter how "hard" it is
But please, feel free to once again insist that nothing would be different if FSX didn't exist. Whether you want to say it's "at fault" or not is an issue of semantics.

Why do you assume they'd go to DCS instead? Let's face it, FSX has more customers for a reason, despite DCS being more suited for combat sim. Who knows, maybe the vast majority of the market wouldn't settle for a bug, delay and crap PR riddled game, even if FSX a would just disappear?

Yes, it's easier to develop on a platform that hasn't changed for almost a decade. Also, everything you said about DCS applies to the entirety of the flight sim scene.

But of course: FSX is just a platform for add-ons, without add-ons, FSX is junk.
Not sure where that leaves DCSW though.
A-10C, KA-502, and FC survived as separate sims just fine. It just made sense to merge everything under one engine and one set of shared resources.
Instead of having 3 installs, where the only difference was the player aircraft folder. Ie, 4-8GB of identical files for AI, maps, objects, system, UI/Menu, etc And 200-600mb of files unique to the player aircraft.

Actually, BS2 never existed 'alone' since it was created to be network compatible with A-10C. It also came out only nine months after A-10C, so the A-10C did not stand by itself for very long.
And KA-50 1.02 networked with FC2, but for the most part they were standalone since they each required their own install, regardless of network interplay.
