I mean, he was doing something different - it was never going to be as-good a Harrier sim as DCS but it was meant to simulate the battlespace in a detailed and challenging way and the Harrier was just how you interacted in the battlespace.
And of course now we’re likely going to get DCS Dynamic Campaigns before CAP2 gets its campaign in order, which will make CAP2 completely pointless but will at least allow us to enjoy the experience CAP2 was trying to get at I suppose?
