It is indeed strange.

And I'm telling this while we're losing 4:0 against Spain in the European Soccer Championship, so I DO KNOW about failure.

The question is: exactly to WHOM was directed that half a$$ed attempt called Flight.

If you compare it to... say... not FSX... not FS9... or even FS2K...

If you compare it to FS98, the only thing that has more is graphics. But FS98 at least could boast a whole PLANET of admittedly badly rendered scenery, that WAS THERE ANYWAY if you wanted to simul-fly on that spot.

It's a sort of: "how FS would have been if it was like Train Simulator, only done WORSE, because differently than Train Simuilator, that remains a SIMULATOR, Flight simulates NOTHING and it's proud of it".

It is a fascinating subject to ponder upon, if quite the pissing-off one. Where the HELL is Flight better than ANY of the last three editions of FS to have deserved publishing rights? It just SUCKS even compared to even FS2000 and is only SLIGHTLY better (and exclusively graphics-wise) than the the oldest releases (from FS98 to before). WITH WHAT KIND OF JUDGMENT was it thought out. With what kind of misplaced bravery was it published?

Was I right in thinking that them at M$ desperately wanted and still desire to ape Apple? Was I right to insinuate they wished and still long to accustom their customers to become Apple-customers-like? Was I right in feeling deeply insulted in being considered a brainless visually impaired idiot who buy a thing only for what it looks, and far away at that?

Is that why Win8 looks like a tablet version of Windows even on traditional PC? Because is catering to the same censurable phantom target?

...

Them at M$ REALLY need a overhaul of their managerial persons. A COMPLETE one. And an urgent reset, reboot and reorganization of priorities. Else they better begin compiling the paperwork for bankruptcy here and now. It'll only spare them time down the line.

that as the purpose of M$ Flight, to destroy and inconvenient well define auto created community from a very long time,to own it ,to manipulate it and erase what was born because of their creations (MS Flight Simulator Series) 

  they thought by making airplanes/scenery by themselves and kill control & transform  the old Flight Simulation Community into Flight Community they would make the deal of the decade 

they are good in brain washing ,some has been banned from this forum ,others has very strong arguments among each others and at the end This part of the forum became inactive ,and yes I agree with you I don't see the same enthusiasm used to be for FSX/FS9 since fraudflight came out.

Forget FS98.  Even FS 5.0, or FS 4 for that matter, has more content, sim, and game than Flight and those sims fit into little floppy disks if anyone remembers them
