> At some point the # of flight sim type games plummeted and the ones that stuck around bifurcated into hyper-realistic to the point they are a time suck (cause you could be using an actual real flight sim for real flight training) or they are hopelessly unrealistic and no fun compared to the old stuff.
The following info might be of interest:
The company behind Digital Combat Simulator (DCS World), which is the hardest of hard core military flight Sims, recently announced Modern Air Combat (MAC) which I believe is aiming for the level of fun vs realism you mentioned.
"Over the past year, a massive amount of work has gone into Modern Air Combat in order to make it a AAA title. During this period, we have also expanded the scope and features of the product substantially. This has led to us push back its release date to 2020.
Modern Air Combat will not be a DCS World product, but rather a new series for us that focuses more on action, gameplay, and a shallowing learning curve."
