This is a perfect example of pleasing noone by trying to please everyone. It amazes me how a huge company like MS are idiotic enoguh to think you can casualise what is essentially the least casual genre ever.

You want my advice MS? Make a proper Flight Sim 11 with a great globe and improved modern graphics. Second: add alot of mission structure and tutorials and aids for new guys and girls to feel it's easy to get into.

Flight Simming is fun and not that hard: it's just a ridiculous initial learning curve and if you can make that super easy and then have loads of missions and campaigns after that I believe you can make a hugely successful flight sim.

Microsoft tried to destroy this community ,a community that wasn't intended to exist by them , instead of Join it and even be proud

  I said it It will last 6 month it last much less

a lot its being said in this part of the forum , many strangers came in and defend this "little game" with vehemence and even dear to said that it was better than FSX ,that it came to replace it (I read it so many times in MS site)

Many were kicked out of this site ,many insults and strong argues for what?

they thought they could control FS community with their cheats,manipulations and lies

I don't feel sorry for them? I feel sorry for the families and people in Denver Massacre, or many other who really are in disgrace in this world ,as for formers of MS Fraud ,they will find another job a more honorable one

Wow, ease up Alex. It wasn't really The Great Satan. It was just another example of how people employed at a big corporation can do really stupid, regrettable things. If you'll advance your career by telling your boss that "it's great" even though it's awful, well ... I think it's a common occurrence in "authority-driven hierarchies". Happens quite frequently, sorry to say.

exactly

, I'm sorry that I repeat some of my word I said about this Flight Game before

  I remember that one of the first thing which concern me was that this new game will offer his new SDK but using Maya Instead 3dmax/gmax ,I rememeber a long debate I said wow now I am going to have to learn Maya software how much it will cost ? this was a train of rumours maybe even dropped on purpose by the own M$ it self

  They started a lot of rumours on the internet ,and this is why you can actually see only the latest 2 was about AFTER it was released ,and this section of Flight has been almost frozzen about three months ago ,and It was release in February 10 and this part of the forum was open in September 20 aproximaly ,
More pages of Rumors

    Its not a great satan Satan Dave but lets faced some of their deal ,the invitation to the main FS websites webmasters and that whole art of manipulations involved ,the TOP super secret craps months before it releases ,the  the last lies about they would be releasing New York ,Alaska the rumours about that they were going to make the whole world ...to me the company was very dishonest ..the simple fact that No SDK Only we will make the airplanes and scenery ONLY we will win the whole money and grab the whole FS comunity makes me feel disapointed about this company ..

  I went back in this forum I INVITE EVERY ONE  to read this five pages of this part of the site,..
how many problems ,argues , The poor Strategic Retreat was call Microsoft hater and a lot of insult because he had a common sense point and was not to applause M$ ..

This whole Flight not the software The propaganda  has cause a damage to FS community ,I hope it recovers back ,I been in this a long time ago and I would be sad if it dissapears

  If I were M$ I would make the whole world again and like I read before make a new FS11 starting by LISTEN to FScommunity make a nice SDK and if it better than FSX or FS9 it would make more profit than Flight and maybe even more than FSX ,

to redeem themselves.. because at least I could never trust them anymore

Whilst I'm not going to pretend I'm sad about MS Flight dying or the Workers being laid off I am sad that so many members of this close-knit Forum had to go before Flight Died.

I'm still mourning the fact that BradonF & other long term members have pretty much left because of arguments over this stupid game (Flight).

No problem for me!... ...!

It was a short experience...
I gave it a try, it didn't really suit me, so, as usual, I am back to having loads of fun every day, with my trusty FS 2004 (and FSX).

It was free, so, nothing lost, for me... ...!
