They don't care. They think just cause it won't be uber realistic it will be shit. I bet there will be another CMR tribute video in this game. Hell they even have his car.
Well the new one is coming out in 2011 and it is going to be awsome from the look of it. New features include gymkhana which can be played as a party mode (multiple people doing gymkhana at once)
yeah but remember there is always a counter to the swing wings argument. It also gives the aircraft a lower stall speed and a higher top speed. Spread the wings when you want to go slow then retract them when you want to turn and burn.
oh and the Tomcat was safe if one wing got stuck retracted and the other was at least partially spread.
