Well, I guess it means that eye-candy isn't the core of a good simulation. I bet you if you made a poll, graphics is ranging far behind any features for most of the "simulation players" at subsim. Realism probably also is much further up on the list. Graphics only has to be reasonable, and SHIII surely still is. If someone managed to add the SHV wolfpacks and dynamic campaign features to SHIII, that probably would be the olymp for most subsim gamers. Better graphics is nice if everything else is in its right place, but the real immersion for a simulation player comes from realism.
