New Reality

SDK will be available only for those payware devs who want to share part of their income with Microsoft, and most will not want to do so.

Wait to see....

Also that means that there will be no third party freeware at all which makes Flight suck even more.

Agree, if you are right. Can you explain the statement: "The Live marketplace allows for constant content flow and users that opt-in to share data,"Users + share = Types of freeware? What else?

There will be no whole Earth, ever, just small regions.

Pointless. Why not convert and upgrade the globe from FSX?Flyawaysimulation.com says:- "The base is still a globe, it’s just that there is not enough geography yet."Not "just small regions"!!!- "The team has decided to not try and make the whole world this time."Why?Because:- "But they would rather launch now and not have everything than wait and let the product age. This also helps keep the download size down."- "The marketplace will contain [...] major content packs that contain new geography.."6 packs = the whole world?

No ATC either.

Flyawaysimulation.com says:- "the team says that there is nothing they cannot make."Well, If we pay..... Why not?
