But none of the games had all of these features at once.

and if little return is the problem I think they should raise the price. most people play games beyond their life cycle: operation flashpoint which still won't die to this day...flight simulator series (which allows others to freely sell modifications and develop professional quality addons beyond what developers had made), and falcon 4.0 and its mods which is over 10 years old and still is beign played....I'm sure many serious simmers would pay up to $200 or more if it was beyond the typical expectations of a $50 game...I read forums where people by whole new systems just so they can buy a game....if they are willing to do that...what makes you think they won't pay more than $50. So if there is a shortage on income that is their fault for their pricing strategy...

You are out of touch with todays harsh reality of commercial video game developement. The demands you line up sounds to me it will be super complicated and a night mare to implement and playtest, debug. I read forums too where people buy whole new machines for playing a game. But its rather few these days. With the dwindling interest in the pc platform, there is dwindling interest for people to invest loads of money in very expensive pcs that plays 3 games. Thats for hardcore nerds. And we are few today. Most people settle for EA trash games and other twitch fodder. And given a choice between an iPod, a Xbox 360 _OR_ One (count 1) graphics card from ATI, they go for the pod or the box.
Your best hope is that they leave the code wide open so ppl can mess about mod it so. There will never be a commercial sim like that.
