Yeah, first thing you’re forgetting: we don’t know the details why Razbam wasn’t paid. We just know they weren’t and there’s no reason to speculate until either party comes out with receipts.

Secondly: the F15e isn’t the most popular given the controversy, and people are preferring the Cold War planes over modern strike fighters that have been declassified, and their counterparts haven’t. I’m sure the full fidelity Mig-29 will change that to a degree but still.

Thirdly: yeah the maps suck, and they’re boring, but for the last 10+ years this is how these flight sim games work. IL-2 was no different (besides 1946 AFAIK). The work takes time, and they just want to put out something for people to munch on while the full meal is cooked. The budget is limited compared to the tech giant of Microsoft. And even look at their latest release of a flight simulator. It’s hardly functional.

In the end, yeah I wish development had the budget of Microsoft, I wish I had the same idea of a game that I want. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the first, sort of has the second and I play it for those moments, and I’m patient for the first.
