They deserve it.Don't feel bad for the guys who coded it, all they have done is taken FSX, deleted all landmass except Hawaii, and placed a few hoops in the sky. The graphics are the same as FSX, IMO, with a very minor upgrade to shadows and lighting. That's it. It makes me question what on Earth they've been doing for 2 years, from what I've seen so far, it should've take no longer than 5 months to complete, tops!

I wonder if all this outrage would make them reconsider their narrow minded policies. Probably not.

I am not in Facebook but please, everyone who has a fb profile please hit them hardly.This is the only way they can retire Flight.

Wow, brutal comments. Well deserved.

Is anyone of you going to CES ?I live in a different continent otherwsie I would have said few words to those MS idiots.

There could be a way to get them to reconsider, by expressing our rage on Reddit!That could be the kind of avenue to get a grassroots movement going, as that site kind of played a role in getting some major corporations to change their tunes when they instituted policies, pricing changes, or political affliliations that offended their customer base. Some of these companies include Go Daddy, Netflix, Bank of America, Verizon. Just a thought.

No - Reddit doesn't have a big enough FS community.

I cannot read the Facebook comments, because I don't have a FB account (and I like it that way).But I did go to the You-Tube page and it would be pretty hard for the FB comments to be worse than

This is just sad. As of this morning:Ratings for this video (318 total)Thumbs up: 110 Thumbs Down: 208

Yeah great idea, let's get them to cancel the only new flight sim currently in development, that'll get more people involved in the hobby. (I am aware that DCS are perhaps developing another module)

I also do not have a fb account but in this case I would have had one.Those comments are quite sweet to be honest, I imagine the reason is avoiding a removal from you tube, I can somehow understand that.Is there perhaps any web place where comments are quite free ? Please link it here if you know it.I would be glad to tell mine.

I wonder if they expected such a strong reaction, from what I have seen there are only a couple of 12 year olds that are excited about it. I guess this is why they maintained secrecy through development, keeping it in the shadows was the only way to create an interest, how pathetically sad is that.

I quote you.Then I add, even from a money point of view Flight is gonna be the recycle bin of the Century, so, what the **** have been done ?The only explanation is that MS did it intentionally to hit the simmers for free, I see no other real reason behind that.
