Yeah simming is my thing too. I've been simming since SH2, on and off in periods. And I've been simming since Flight Simulator 4 (at least). I am a bit disappointed with two things:
1: Maybe there will never be another silent hunter game
2: Microsoft switched from simulator based to game/mission based (with option to tweak the game to feel more like a simulator)
A bit disappointing, a world without simulators in these two fields is a world of sorrow.
