The irony is that now that we have the technology to make a really realistic sim, the development costs are too high to make one for the relatively small audience. Investors demand a profit and so pursue the mass market. The flight sim audience is probably still large enough to support it, but we've always been a niche. A good base to mod from is likely our only option in the future
