"The team behind Microsoft Flight consists of roughly 50 people, including a mix of professional pilots, 40% of which worked on the previous team. Three years into development, Project Manager Joshua Howard invited a select few involved in the Flight Simulator community to visit the Microsoft campus in Redmond WA, to see the project thus far."

Wasn't the "previous team" Aces?

Flyaway got it wrong. Joshua stated that the present team was greatly slimmed down from the ACES team and was made up of about "40 people". He went on to say that he thought there was only one of the previous ACES team in the new one.

Thanks Tom. I apologize then for spreading false information, which was not my intent, as I thought THAT was one of the the few reliable sources.But I still feel that we should give the Flight Team a chance. They might just surprise us.

They might just surprise us.

They might...

I am more mad at Intel for not giving us 15Ghz CPU.As long as we have FSX and MS does not pull FSX activiation, Why me worry? :(

So, one Aces team, and 39 other team members? One highly qualified aces member can have a very positive influence with the rest of the team. How much product can 40 qualified people create? Plus 3rd party developers that will jump in the mix, so the potential for product already exists. I know nothing as to how many people it takes to make add on's or landmass so any information appreciated. But rest assured, Flight has to make money for it's investment with the basic free platform. So add on's are the meat and potatoes that is critical to it's financial success. I would think they are reading the forums and creating product as we speak. Also examining what are the hottest add on's.
