Just scanned Sid Meier's cover interview. He mentioned games starting
to approach the complexity of "Falcon 7"--"If you haven't mastered the
first six versions, you'll never be able to play this", or something
like that. And so flight sim are a niche genre, and the niche is
shrinking fast.
He's right. The standard now is so hard-core that the learning curve is
a vertical line. I saw a CD for ATF in a resale store the other
day--ah, the days when all you needed was a four button stick, and all
planes had a GIB to drop hints. If they don't produce an ATF '07, maybe
for the PS, the next Falcon will be download only.
