UbiSoft did the same thing with the latest installment of Silent Hunter (The submarine sim).

They also went the more arcade style development to attract a wider audience.

It was such a fail it seems that Ubisoft in such an attempt managed to sink the silent hunter series completely.

How ironic, they sunk the sub.

Lets hope MS does not fly our beloved MFS series into Mt. Erebus.

Since I first posted in the beginning, I have changed my opinion.

Based on my reading, Microsoft Flight appears to have been in development for about 18 months now. Microsoft is officially announcing it now as a Beta version will soon undergo internal testing. Add-on development is supposed to be easier than ever, showing that 3rd party developers may benefit from Flight being released. Performance is the #1 goal in Flight and has been since day one of the project.

My final opinion is that MS Flight will be better than FSX, with more realism and better performance. Online flying is focused on much more than in FSX. Flight will not be a little flying game. It should be a simulator. We should look forward to it. (But still not get our hopes up too much.)

My post is based on reading many blog entries and forum posts with people giving inside information they are getting from someone on the Flight Team. My info may not be accurate, but I feel that the people who are being negative about MS Flight should stop and just wait. At the moment, we don't know much more of the big details other than that it has been announced and it's a flight simulator. Give it a chance. It may end up being great.

this whole this is confusing ,I only wish one thing ,MS think above all in the designers roll ,the series MSFS has been succeeded because of the independent designers around the world ,so make things easy for them..
remember the serie MSFS was ,A simulator ,a game ,and a game of design..

I know nothing.. And that's a fact!

Jeez! Why do I even post anything?  My point is: The people being so negative about Flight should stop. We don't know many details at all. If you have anything bad to say, I assume you guys could make a better flight simulator?

so I was hoping you could post these blog locations, so that the rest of us could become just as informed as you claimed to be.

So which is it?

Optimism isn't bad, when there's actually something to base it off of. 
Going by M$ past performance record with new FS releases,
I'd say they are the ones who need to prove I'm wrong this time.

Show me one place in this thread, or any other, where I've told someone, to not state their opinion.

I'm simply replying to the b.s. claims that people are making, such as the one you made above.

After re-reading through this thread,
I'd say those who aren't jumping on the M$ bandwagon and sucking the sack,
are the ones who need the flak jacket, as we seem to be the minority in this thread.

You can have your opinion, and I'm fine with that and respect it,
but be aware, that I too have an opinion, and it doesn't have to agree with yours.
