All vs Uber.. I like it. To be perfectly honest, I don't want the ubers, even if I did get to fly them. Sounds too much like an arcade game. I am by no means a sim purist, as this is the first sim I have ever flown, and have been hooked from the beginning. I did get copies of each of the "other" sims on demo disks, and must say that the arcade qualities of the the unbalanced plane sets, etc. lead me to delete them from my drive, not even keeping them for some brainless fun once in a while. I say ubers, shmubers, let's complete the plane set with comparable era planes to what we have now, with one big, blue, bfg firing exception. I am hearing grumblings among many pilots who have been flying for years and are highly skilled, that the "dweebishness" factor is getting to the point that they are staying away except for scenarios. I still thoroughly enjoy the sim, and fly every chance I get, but I totally understand their frustration. I say make the game complete, then maybe add the arcade qualities to it in a seperate arena... yeah, that's it. Leave the ubers out of the main arena, and create a "ubers only" arena, where no "regular" planes are allowed. If someone flies in the uber arena, he can't whine about being killed by a low skill pilot in a unfairly lethal machine... he entered the uber arena of his own free will, and the rest of us can fight it out more realistically in the "regular" arena. Hmmm.. food for thought. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much indigestion.
