January 5, 201214 yr Commercial Member Actually if I only had the choice of the 2 I'd go back to Sublogic Flight Simulator. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager
January 5, 201214 yr I suspect he'd say, "That's it, I'm buying X-Plane 10!"But seriously, guys like this tend to be a bit more philosophical about these things. I suspect he'd applaud Microsoft's efforts to make a flight simulator that is more accessible to the average consumer. Edited January 5, 201214 yr by Mountain Man

Thats not their goal, their goal is to make as much money as they can which is fine but it is a slightly different philosophy I think.
January 5, 201214 yr He being a former business owner, I doubt he would begrudge Microsoft's ultimate goal of turning a profit. Edited January 5, 201214 yr by Mountain Man
January 5, 201214 yr I think I am depressed after playing the beta for 45 minutes. I spend about 20 of that setting up the controls the way I wanted it, but the next 25 minutes, I can never get back...

January 6, 201214 yr I guess Bruce is still surprised the franchise lasted for as long as it did... All god things must die! Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
January 6, 201214 yr In FS5.x (BAO times) the gauges were encrypted, the BGL scenery format was not documented, even the planes were encrypted. Scenery was available I think from BAO only (remember "scenery disks" (diskettes)), except a few attempts that were made based on reverse engineering of the BGL format. One of the better ones that I can remember was Hongkong from "Pilots". So FS opened up after that and now it is closing up again. Siggy Schwarz
January 6, 201214 yr Commercial Member Yes I bought those scenery disks for my commodore. Back in 84 or so they were almost 40 dollars a pop. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager
