Microsoft has done something horrible, they have ruined the Microsoft FS Series with Microsoft FLIGHT. Its not a simulator its an arcade game, So who else here is disappointed?

[Obelix]

We knew it was coming. The biggest hit to the serious Flight Simmers and third party addon developers.

It's like the old days of FS 1 and FS 2 when you only had a cessna and a learjet and could only fly in Chicago, New York or Boston and a sopwith camel to bomb some squares on a battle area

[Stevphfeniey]

It's a shame though, because the game graphics wise looks really good

[Obelix]

Yes Steve but it's only a game that has no room to grow from third party input.

It's like going back in time to 1993 when I had to buy BAO Flight Shop to create and use third party aircraft on FS 5.0. VATSIM and IVAO have no chance with Fly and so do so many commercial and personal scenery and aircraft developers.

Treasure your copies of MSFS and their patches, they might be worth a fortune 20 years from now.

I'm relishing in this turning into a microsoft disaster story, serves them right for turning it into a game

quote of the day, "

I came from a Flight Simulator background of APs, Cat IIIs and DMEs; now I'm getting points for remembering to lower the landing gear and hit the runway centre line. I can't help feeling Microsoft have made a grave error dumbing it down this much.

And just for the record, Microsoft, I thought you wanted to create an 'every-man' flying programme? I once showed a friend (with an IQ close to that of a teaspoon, maybe I'm being a little generous) FS9. He had no previous interest in aviation but instantly ordered FSX - and still uses it to this day. If, therefore, the previous FS series could entice new flyers; why did you create this s***?"

Well... Microsoft goes about trying to attract new players

Just how SimCity Societies gone wrong

Just how "Oh look! I have to put down the art mural to build the house to get enough creativity!"

[Kirkland]

Basically nearly all my favorite games are being downgraded. I had a near fatal 20-min crashing error on FSX and I tried out Flight.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!

I think they are trying to scare away their Veteran players...

[Alfrenzo]

What?

I think I get it now.

I think they are trying to scare away their Veteran players...

Microsoft is irate they don't have the other 98% of the population for FSX

[Kirkland]

You are terrorizing this community

[Alfrenzo]

You are terrorizing this community

In what ways?

[egwrhw3rhwrh]

Methinks you should not hate it cuz it was beautiful in it's own way cuz the developers make no mistakes. Their own their right track baby they were born that way. They won't hide themselves in regret, they'll just love themselves and their set, their own the right track baby they were born that way.

I am lucky I didn't buy that
