I don't think combat flight sim's would be dead, perhaps a lot WORSE off I would agree with. The delays are frustrating yes, but I very much still appreciate what I have now in DCS and BMS.
Easily disproved.
You have two products. One is good, one is bad. So overall, it's 50% good. You have one product and it is good. So overall, 100% good. Just because there is choice does not mean it's better than less (or no) choices.

No. In a year or two we may finally have the Hornet. On Beta. Then it'll be a whole new can of worms that'll be opened. It'll be different, sure. I pray it will be better. But I'm not holding my breath.

You've obviously not been here when DCS A10C was in Beta. IMHO that was a much better product then. Further view distance, better fps, no stutters when bombs go off....

With a fast mover like the Hornet and Eagle, you'll want bigger maps if you want more realistic missions. Fuel management, A-A refuelling, etc. are all part of mission planning.
