Bearcat, the appeal of such simulations is not just limited to weapons systems. The same reason why some of us like to fly the big radials, etc. Just because it doesn't fire guns doesn't mean it isn't a great simulation!
Often times those advanced standalone simulations miss a lot that FSX offers. For example, navaids, round the world airports, modability, excellent terrain, better navigation systems, etc etc etc, and last but not least, comfortability. I don't have to learn a whole new simulator, but rather the systems itself.
Having worked with the teams that both produced the Aerosoft F-16 and VRS Superbug, both offer things that cannot be done even in standalone simulations. What if I want to do a canyon run in a photo gen area? What if I want to take a stroll around egypt and just soak in the scenery?
You might call it a bull with tits, but sometimes other simulations are nothing more than tits attached to a bull.
