mail to "info at x-plane dot com".I know, X-Plane is behind FSX in many aspects, but it also has a few advantages (damage due to overstressing, icing, wake turbulence, just to name a few..).After Microsoft is now focusing on small children without income, maybe X-Plane will be the only serious civil flight simulation in the future and it would certainly not hurt, if we would try to influence its development (e.g. vote for AI Traffic :( ). Please no FSX vs. X-Plane discussions. It's just an informational post.

As a minimum FSX without all the tweaking and stutters

Informational only, huh? :(

I quote Phil Spencer:"The downsizing that we went through was more about removing things that weren't a core focus of the organisation and creating scale and space for us as leaders to think deeply in the areas that are going to be critical in terms of our long-term success. Live is a crucial area for us, for example. And since that time we've hired a significant number of people back into the organisation and I expect we will refill all of those positions and even more. The acquisition of Big Park was perfect, we've been working with them for over a year on Joy Ride and what we found was a studio of people that were really committed to online, free-to-play, micro-transactions and building new IP. It made sense for us to work together more closely and that's why we went through the acquisition. It's about getting focus behind the initiatives that really matter. "Do you expect adults to play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADNovOex21A ?Do we have any reason to believe that there will be a serious Flight Simulator from Microsoft in the future?

aha....a little hard to do since in the title you already take a jab at FSX "req features for a 'real' flight simulation"I happen to think FSX is more real than xplane and I'm a pilot and air traffic controller.Anyway, if XP had some good ATC I'd probably bite....

Nils, please read this messageI close your thread now.
