I have not got a clue what MS division of Flight are doing right now? Not a clue and i don't think they know themselves ... its probably a big gamble for them?
Divide and Conquer?
When I first read the true report of what every Flight simmer on the planet thought would be a late successor to FSX, we all assumed it was an arcade cop out, guys on premier flight sim sights like the big A .... I'm scared to mention their name now because he has started lawyer sue speak against some members and has went on a banning spree for many who speak against Flight.
I've not looked too much at Flight Sim.
