Look under the "Product Details." Quite frankly I agree with them, SHV is subsim "Lite". Hopefully, a supermod will raise it to GWX, but I have my doubts.
Now, would MS Flight Simulator have become as popular as it has if you could walk all around an airplane, but the only airplane you had to fly was a Boeing 747? Steel Beasts is an outstanding tank simulator, yet there is no interaction with other crewmembers, the same can be said for Dangerous Waters and other Sonalyst submarine titles.
I enjoy a real simulation, that's why I've stayed with SHIII + GWX |
Well, Takao, I'm inclined to agree with Amazon's categorization. Further, you're absolutely correct that SH3+GWX is more along the lines of a, "simulator" as the average person looking for a challenge certainly isn't going to be looking for that MUCH of a challenge!
As far as MS Flight Simulator, the continued references to the Boeing 747 were simply, "examples." Really I'd rather fly a DC-3 than a modern, "inflatable" heavy! But, no matter, people who bought MS Flight Sim expecting a game probably shelved it long ago, or did one have to have it to run the more consumer-oriented
Combat Flight Simulator? And, of course, as we all know, the Microsoft sim team has been disbanded and no one's clear what happens now. No more
Train Simulator - that's for sure!
(I REALLY liked the old LucasArts
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe and all the add-on aircraft!)
