Of course we can never say "never" but I sometimes wonder if the DCS series will actually end up being the last commercially released modern flight sim for PC?
Besides DCS, what has been the most recently released modern jet sim for PC? Was it the last sim from the Strike Fighter series? Keep in mind that I'm talking about NEW releases and not any community-made mods like those made for Falcon 4.
I guess you mean combat flight sim? I have given MSFS 2020 a spin, and though it has a beta feel about it (the whole BING map concept is very hit and miss) and there are a lot of complaints about the jet flight models, it seems like MS is in it for the long haul.
So is it too much to hope they will turn it into a combat sim like they did with CFS 3?
I've not seen it on any development road map, but once they've exhausted other ways to capture new users, why not?
