So many valid point here.
I wouldn't be here if not the moddability and the community -I had WoV on shelf for some four months, not touching it, until I discovered Column5's site and CombatAce. Then the craziness started
Generally in flight sims the times are -if you don't make your sim moddable, you're lost. Must be the reason Oleg Maddox decided to open for modders slowly incoming (and finally taking shape) Storm of War. And closed Rise of Flight is loosing it big time for me.
I perfectly understand that financial situation can prevent one from buying the titles, but we're talking 20$ per title here.
Back on topic -frankly, I wouldn't expect ultra-fidelity breakthrough new features from Tomcat title regarding avionics or FM, but I know there will be many new little things under the hood. Like always. You know, it's TK.
Not to mention new terrain engine, the weakest, stinking point of the series for years. You do remember how long we were flying without clouds? Until mega-update patch (and WoE) in 2006. That's four years for the veterans here.
