They can't stop simming with Flight, it's so thrillingly addicitive!(Or, there's a bug in the Quit command as implemented in the beta).Cheers,- jahman.

Gaming with Flight you meant?

*******, reading some comments above I realize FS community is infiltrated by communists.Let's "tax the rich" and "occupy Remdond". "M$". "Business is all about greed". Argh.I'm French, I know what i'm talking about fellows : SOCIALISM IS DEATH.This is hurting to read such statement in America. I know you're into socialism since 2008 with this guy you elected but this hurts for the lovers of freedom, America was once the country of freedom in the minds of people.

Communists? Where?Socialism is nice thing. In Cuba for example socialism has brought people amazing healthcare and education when it lacked both very much when it was ruled by capitalist dictator supported by USA. If I have to choose beetween healthiness and Microsoft programs I will choose first one, materialism is overrated anyways.Its not capitalist which created also my country Finland amazing healthcare and education that are available for everyone in equal high quality. Here we have TRUE freedom, here everyone has pretty much same chances to become anything by educating themselves when in many completely capitalist countries if you born poor you die poor as you have no access to high quality education as its for those with enough money only.USA + freedom today? Hell no. Just look where SOPA comes? USA.Capitalism is ran by mass consumption of useless stuff which destroys our resources and nature and eventually leads to hell.

Socialism is Death? And what's a trillion dollars of stock market value getting wiped out in a day because some idiots at AIG and Goldman Sachs went ape on CDS - Credit Default Swaps then? Does it take you and your family to be out on the street on your butts because of a recession/depression you had no part in causing to realize unbridled greed will kill us all? Do you know the average salary + bouns for the good folks at Goldman Sachs was an average of half a million dollars each the year they avoided bankruptcy because the U.S. Government deemed AIG "too big to fail" and bailed them out to the tune of $150 billion (with U.S. taxpayer money, i.e. your money if you were a U.S. citizen). (Goldman Sachs was the counterparty to billions in CDSs and would have gone bankrupt in 24 hours flat.)Or do you need to go bankrupt and get kicked out of your house because you fall behind on your mortgage payments because your or your wife's or your child's illness isn't covered by your medical insurance plan because some failed doctor was hired by the insurance company and the bonus he gets paid is tied to how much money he can "save" his employer by denying folks the medical coverage they paid for?

America was once the country of freedom in the minds of people.

You have a very warped sense of what freedom is if you think it includes the right to ruin the economy for everyone else.Cheers,- jahman. Edited January 10, 2012 by jahman

For anyone going like a few others have said BE Nice the guys there are more then lickly not the ones calling the shots they just get orders and try and do there best. If I have learned anything from working on games the last 3 years that the entire team is never 100% in favour of somthing.

+1You said it, jahman, and you can't be more clear. Just hope the Europeans understand English !

[Guest comma]

Oh God ! One is defending Cuba ! Seriously, are you reading Castro propaganda ?The other think Goldman Sachs is capitalism, whereas it is "financialism", which as nothing to do with capitalism.By the way Goldman Sachs and all Wall Street "banksters" benefits directly from the massive PUBLIC DEBTS of states, which is directly linked to SOCIALISM (Keynes notably in the US). But you may not have been to school to learn all that stuff.You may be kicked from your house if you buy a house you cannot afford. The real estate crisis is also direct consequence of the welfare state where the banks where obliged by the governement to give credits to unsolvable people. Wake up, smelle the good old sense, never spend more than you have. Kids, just go "occupy" something with your dread locks and weed and let the adult do business and build strong societies.I leave you with your toys you little Staline fans.

+2. Anyone get any more information from the robots at the booth?

[Guest]

I'm looking forward to a report of what MS has at CES on Flight.

Me too, but I am afraid that the MS guys who are in that booth aren't the guys who created MS Flight... Those are simply guys that have been told what to say and that's it. So I am hoping a serious simmer will get his hands on a controller and let another person shoot a video while he does some free flying. I don't expect any real news coming from CES about Flight.

Well I'm here and asked them about dropping "simulator" from the name and whether this has as much to it regarding the core simulation aspect as fsx did. He said "depends on what you mean". I said "pure simulator aspect...no games..missions. The thing that made it as we know it today". He said "we kept all that there but are looking in a different direction". This means other audiences. I asked "when will the world or other areas be available " and he dodged it by saying "well we are here to show and discuss the free part of the game right now only" . I didn't go into the bitc h fest. I was like "ugh whatever"

Thanks for reporting back. It's good to know that they know people are concerned about the new simulator game.
