Sonalysts has been tight-lipped about any sequel or remake of any of their simulators. Their second-generation engine and the space-themed game they made with it was an obvious exhibition piece and, in the past, Sonalysts has dropped hints that one of their popular sims would be getting a sequel/remake. There has been no news beyond that. I can see it happen eventually, but I would not hold my breath. Besides, Sonalysts used a chopped up version of DW to create the ACTUV simulator back in 2010 to test the concept of the ACTUV drones that we are now seeing in the proving phase. The Subsim community did its part in that project. Sonalysts knows we are here and they know that if they create a new subsim, we will buy it. It is just an issue of their priorities. Sonalysis IS a DOD contractor and, of course, those obligations will take priority.
