Yeah, it's depressing that as computer and graphics power, multi-monitor, and eye tracking is becoming mainstream, realistic flight simulators are apparently no longer an interesting market niche...
- ekianjo 15y agoTime to kickstart(er) a new project to prove them wrong, then ? Just like double-fine was being told by publishers that Adventure games were a thing of the past.
- Ralith 15y agoNah, realistic flight sims are still a thing, and getting better every year; you just have to know where to look. X-Plane, DCS, etc.
- lutorm 15y agoCare to keep going there? ;-) I'm mostly interested in the realistic WW2 online combat genre, which seems pretty dead. The only things around I know of are Warbirds and its cousins WWIIOL and Aces High. While all of them appear to be actively supported, they all date back to the last millenium. Anyone know any others?
- lutorm 15y agoWell... I've been involved quite a bit with World War II Online, and they are not exactly growing by miles and bounds. The customer base for a hardcore sim seems a lot smaller than for more arcade-style games, so I don't know how you get funding for a large, complex piece of software with quite a limited payoff. I'd love to work on it, though...
