I feel like I have slipped into some bad dream. MSFS seems to have died for sure  Sad
I will try Flight, but $20 for a couple of Islands and 2 aircraft..come on! What is the rest of the NA continent alone going to cost?! What is it going to cost to get the wide range of aircraft I got for FSX and FS2004?! I have to ask, where did the Flight development team shove their heads???

FS hasn't died.. as long as 3rd party development advances through, FS will carry on. Microsoft will wonder what went wrong after they realize that leaving the 3rd party devs out of the loop and integrating their money grubbing and heavily restricted Live Marketplace was a bad choice

I Dunno' the 6 flight sim web sites I hang out on' I have found very few people - well serious Flight Simmers who've been at it for likr 5 to 10 years - NOT at all impressed at all with the New Flight , its format, or whats available or how its available and what might maybe be available.  I will NOT be switching ever, my FSX GOLD EDITION , is the last flight sim I'll be investing in, considering all the other stuff I have purchased to go along with it to make it more enjoyable, from additional Aircraft Payware & FREEWARE, to my TRACKIR-5 and FRAPS registered version and my Saitek Digital Flight Yoke and Saitek Combat Aluminum Rudder peddles , Naw, I've already got a lotta money wrapped up in my Flight Simulator and I ain't switchin to something as 1/2 assed as Flight with a bunch of limits - meaning scenery & aircraft.                           So far I have NOT heard anybody discuss what Format the TEXTURE files come in with Flight ???  That alone will make a huge difference as to rather others wouyld be willing to purchase it or not , for me NOT,, I finally learned after months & months of trail & error how to work and modify / paint the DDS texture files that came with FSX. .........
