Very eloquent, TDK, my hat is tipped in your direction, or at least it would be if I wore one.
The problem with sophisticated systems simulations is that the demand for fidelity is very, very high and the hardcore clientele very knowledgeable. In the world of flight sims, there will be much distress over a malfunctioning radar sub-mode in FALCON: ALLIED FORCE when in less detailed sims that mode won't even be modelled and its absence will therefore go unnoticed.
SHIV is my first sub sim since SUB COMMANDER and 688i before that. I come from the world of hi-fi combat flight/racing sim geekery and I am only interested in SHIV if manual targeting works as advertised. Therefore I'm not going to play it until the TDC and PK is fixed. However, it will remain on my HD for the next few months as I have almost as much faith in the SHIV devs as I have in the FALCON ALLIED FORCE devs, a very high compliment indeed and one that I hope turns out to be justified.
