If you wanted a working product with no ability to dogfight on multiplayer servers, have lag up the wazzoo, and no ability to do formation flying, VRS has a BUG, but you're not going to be able to enjoy the play that DCS offers.
I get the frustration, but looking at the alternatives, and how far DCS has come since 2008, I don't think there's a platform that can match it.
So I will drink my adult beverage and be happy with the fact that I have a Charlie model that still needs maintenance, just like in real life.
