I'm sorry if i jumped the gun, but i honestly thought you were just trying to get a rise out of me.In my time here, i've been called an &@($*, asked my age(does this have any relevance to anything, other than one's own sterotype?), etc.etc.etc.It's easy to judge when you select one post.The 2nd link you providied, i actually did find that really funny. You've got real people telling you what the real speed is. I figured you were just trying to get my goat.#3 is just an observation, like i've said a million times now, there's alot of off topic banter (like mine and your most recent posts, which share no relevence to flight).Feel free to Pm me if you have an objection to my posts.

Now that both sides have expressed their view, lets all Get A Grip again now.Please... lets be happy again :( and all enjoy the many options that we have at this time regarding flight simming software.EDIT: wrong smiley.

The limited hardware support is something I doubt will ever be addressed, and so my interest in that side of the hobby will always keep me away from MS Flight!, the fact that prop and mixture controls were added so late in the development process shows that MS does not understand this aspect of the hobby, very little chance that all of my Goflight stuff will ever work

I think he misunderstood your statement in your earlier post. You two are on the same line.

I hope so. For this misconception is very widespread.I wish to make it clear:Howard (Microsoft) said: - "There are lots of other more specialized hardware options.We think we've done a good job to support a bunch of them.We'll add support over time if it's necessary, whether that's your pedals or more sophisticated flight sticks or throttles...USB devices.Even if the system doesn't know your device right off the bat, you can use our control mapping scheme to connect your device to the game and keep it going."Are there still some who do not understand????

The Flight Sim franchise, for years, was trying to support this external range of products that were being developed. While that’s an exciting ecosystem and continues to be for FSX, the weight of carrying all that forward really limited our opportunities, performance-wise, accessibility-wise, sophistication-wise. By cutting with the past, building a better product, a better simulation, we were able to do things that we couldn’t have done in FSX.

What's lost from that whole statement is the way in which many of the "big name" developers were driven out of the process. The model as it stands seems to discourage the large scale investments by 3rd party devs, something that is NOT in the best interest of the Flight platform. I too hope for Flight's eventual growth into a full-blown simulation, but it's hard to see when some of the best contributors to the FS9/X platforms ultimately felt it was in their best interests to NOT develop under MGS' umbrella....

I am closing this topic because it appears to have spiraled off into the exact thing I was asking people not to do. We have started suspending people who are obviously stirring things up on both sides of the FLIGHT subject. If you do not want to be suspended for 45 days or more, then moderate your tone and your words... Baiting, condescension, deliberate provocation, sarcasm, ET AL, will get you suspended as well. You know who are.
