If the Flight project at MS is really aimed at gamers and not as a replacement for FSX there might be hope yet for a few other scenarios. Prepar3D is one, if MS doesn't put a stranglehold on them. If they are viewed as separate non-competing products, that could happen. If, on the other hand, MS is worried about Prepar3D siphoning off Flight customers, they might not permit broad-based retal sales of Prepar3D.

I don't think X-Plane is going to save us. It's going to be some combination of FSX, Prepar3D or a whole new sim developed by someone like Aerosoft.

J Venema seems to think there is a way out of MS's stranglehold John, I hope he's right.

I don't think XPlane 10 is the answer either, even if Aerosoft support it to the hilt.

For sure we have FSX and a wealth of add-ons for now, but like our pensions, we want something nice for the future too.

Good discussion
