The flight dynamics are the only things we should be complaining about. We shouldn't be complaining about the little things like airport vehicles and the look of the visual models or aircraft selections as those can easily be corrected with addons that are made by those with more resources than Microsoft.

I also like to see improved flight dynamics. But as PisTon pointed out, it could kill backwards compatibility. Take the scenario below as an example:

Let's say that Company XYZ creates a sim for a community. Later on the community creates addons that improve the sim and demands that Company XYZ make major improvements on the next version of the sim. Company XYZ does as the community demands but it turns out that such a move would make the addons of the previous version incompatible with the new version due to such changes. As a result, the community blasts Company XYZ and accuses the company of forgetting about its customers [like cleobis pointed out]. Then the company implements the old setup of the previous version into a new version and makes minor changes to it to maintain backward compatibility. But then the community blasts Company XYZ again but this time accuses the company for ignoring the demands to improve the dynamics.

As a result of the above scenario, one or two good developers of the dev. team begin to quit due to the excessive pressure mounted by the community and then Company XYZ is back to square one which then brings the community back to square one. Do you see the endless cycle?

Right now, I'm beginning to have second thoughts on whether or not I should even bother to attempt to create a sim of my own. Undecided
