Yep, that's the rub. Microsoft gave up on WWII flight sims and cancelled Combat Flight Sim 4, probably in part because of the roastng it got on various flight sim forums and in some reviews. It just wasn't a good product. I hope Ubisoft doesn't pull the plug on subsims in total because of the mixed reception of SH4. If only they could have commissioned Maddox's crowd at 1C to do it instead... sigh...
