What I posted at the Sim-Outhouse:

If, and it's a pretty big if, CFS is being dropped...I would expect it is being dropped in place of integration.

Imagine late next year when you load up FS2006 and the install options include "Combat Support Modules". I've noticed a growing number of FS players asking for some of the things that CFS offers, and the reverse is also true. Maybe MS noticed and decided to integrate the two and offer one larger, bigger version.

In a combined version:

ATC could become GCI: "Viper Lead, Boston Center. MARSA Acknowledged, Frequency change approved, contact WARLOCK on 101.5, monitor GUARD. Good Day and Good Hunting."

Firebombers could drop real water "ordinance" on simulated fires...with results.

A Coast Guard "Guardian" could fly live intercepts against smugglers off the Keys. The smugglers could then try to evade if they detect the intercept.

Dang, now I'm getting myslef excited about something that probably isn't even happening.

I was thinking along these lines myself!

I would most defintely be in favor. I've always wanted CFS with the technicality of FS. Plus I don't like how Microsoft's CFSs tend to be dissconnected; here's combat, here's real life. I doubt they're being integrated, but it is quite an exciting prospect!

I was browsing a flight sim magazine today when I saw the exact same question on the letters page. And basically the answer was "we don't know" but apparently there was a job offer on one of the M$ sites for a programmer to work on CFS4. So the chances are it's slowly being made.

I just feel a general dissapointment in people who expect so much from Microsoft. I don't know if Microsoft broke even with CFS3, but we all know that it wasn't a great success. Microsoft will probably cautiously cut their losses, heal their wounds and slowly and securely develop CFS4 as is feasible, not slapping together a slipshod, buggy product like CFS3. Besides, I think Microsoft knows most of us aren't going to rush out for CFS4, I myself will wait a little to hear the jury.

Just because the select few at the top of Microsoft are rich beyond anybody has a right to be. The grunts, programmers and workers are still just average joes like us who have a skill they've developed - a skill any of us could've developed if we cared enough to develop it. Nobody on earth is going to be able to look at pages and pages of C++ code and just say, "Aha! There's your problem." Not to mention little things like an uncapitalized letter. They're still people who are countin' the minutes on the clock so they can go to a burger joint or a bar. If most people aren't mad at Microsoft in this manner, people really ought to be more specific, since that's the way it comes off.

OK, rant over. I'm off my soapbox. Didn't have a whole lot to do with the subject, but it's been botherin' me. Wink

There is no longer a job being offered & it was never filled.

Does anyone nows what going on with the develoment of CFS4. UBI is the process of developing a new Simulator for the Pacific and I have not heard anything from MS. I hope MS listen to us their consummer and be not like the Big Three in the Auto Industry were in the early 80s. They wanted to dictate to Buyers what kind of car one should buy. While the Japanese where giving us what we wanted at the time. It almost cost them their extintion. If you give us a improve version of CFS2 with improve communation ,Squadron control and a all inclusive MB . Your competition will hard press. You neen not worry I think you still have loyal following . Do not take us for granted.

Who cares what M$ is doing. Oleg Madox left Bill Gates and his cronies in the dust with the introduction of IL2, and Forgotten Battles.

Word is that Ubi soft is prepareing to take over the precision simulation market useing the IL2 engine. Lips Sealed

Define precision.

I don't want to turn this thread into another IL2/CFS3 debate, but i 'd take any MS sim over IL2 any day.
