The base problem here is that those guys face no opposition. For combat choppers there's nothing else, NOTHING. For combat aircraft it's a good balance between realism and fun combined with good graphics. For many people SF2 falls short in realistm terms and Falcon 4 is a bit too much (specially cause is a old engine with poor terrain/ground unit graphics, and the hability to fly only one airplane). So, in my point of view imagine a workd where only McDonalds make burguers, with no opposition, they will start to treat customers like shit and do whatever they want. I think is pretty similar to the DCS situation.
What a shame TK cannot read the situation and release a 40$ big realism update and start make money.
