Couldn´t agree more.
I think it is (maybe) a matter of age and perspective. Those of us who knew FS98 or previous versions running at 8 fps with top-of-the-line systems, just can´t understand people being sooo mad and frustrated about FS2020 because it “only” gets 30 fps, their house is not shown anymore from 39000 feet, and that third layer of volumetric clouds 100 miles away now looks a bit grainy (I´m not refering to the OP).
If someone had told me 22 years ago that we would have this visuals, I simply would have not believed it. In fact, I´ve shown to my friends screen captures from FS2020 in my mobile phone, and they thought I was kidding them, and it was an actual photo.
Of course, I know visuals are not everything, and I have had my own fair share of frustration and disapointment with the product (right now, I´m really ■■■■■■ off with ATC insisting in me taking off with 35 kt tailwind, descent 20000 ft in 15 miles, or land in a runway never used to land in real life, and not accepting my requests to use a different one).
Even if a lot of problems stil persist, I´ve seen a massive improvement since August, and I´m sure we will get there with time. For me, the product is impressive enough in some areas to hang on and wait until the problems are fixed.
It won´t be tomorrow, sure, but I try to focus on the bright side.
