So now you're arguing that as long as the game has VR, wings and a clickable cockpit, it can pretend to be a flight sim?

No, I'm saying over the next few years no one will use any kind of simulator that doesn't do VR at 4K, and Aces of Thunder and Gran Toursimo are going to cement that trend. Once Aces of Thunder drops on PSVR2 that will become the minimum standard to compete in that market.

The VAST majority of flight simmers don't think your eggbeater helos are fun, either. 

Better to define what marketing group I fit in to.'

PPL Helicopter pilot that flies VR on Linux and doesn't have a windows machine.

Pretty sure there is literally no one else to sell that to. What is and isn't popular doesn't really define any part of my life.

Yet another Red Herring

You were asking why Laminar doesn't do what Microsoft did with the likes of iniBuilds or is trying to do with Activision Blizzard.

That kind of contracting is all about the Benjamins.

I thought you be interested to know about FTC pursuit to blocking the merger involve MS acquisition of Activation since they come up in your conversion along with subscription based model MS which seems be in line with many speculation over MSFS.

But my mistake for trying.     

You have a nice day.

That link was about windows becoming subscription?

That was the title said but the details are in the article. 

Plus in the article there are links to FTC matter related to the Activation

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ftc-sues-to-block-microsoft-activision-takeover  

And it has a embedded image of "Modern Life Strategies and Priorities"

I thought you might find it interesting since you can infer that such a strategies could indeed lead to a subscript based MSFS which you have spoke about in the past. I am showing is your points may have so leggs it this area where I only agreeing with you.

that's a conversation for another day when the dust settles.

Still, "inner peace", I didn't mean it to be rude, just that I would be more concerned if the outcome would be something that affects me.

One of the (only) benefits of not following the crowd, is you don't get milked with the crowd.
