Is that a comment about the free-to-play or about the actual quality of the simulator? If it's the later, carry on, I've not looked at it yet. I think that free-to-play makes a huge amount of sense for simulators. Train Simulator 2012 [1] isn't free to play but if it were, I think that it would still be a money maker. Digital models cost real money at $19 for a locomotive (and some scenario type things). If you buy all of the DLC for Train Simulator 2012 you'd have spent $1,700. I'm not a sim vehicle sort of person. I enjoy city building and SimAnt (so /r/OpenAnt's OpenAnt [2] makes me happy). But I can see the DLC model (which I hate) causing companies to invest resources into more modern simulators. I think free-to-play also allows younger players and unfamiliar players to be exposed to something that they could really truly enjoy.
