So release is here and gone and yet I find myself still highly mad at Microsoft for turning their backs on us loyal flight sim followers. Yes I tried and it an uninstalled it, just like the beta after an hour of play. I feel no better - post release than I did pre release and I think it's post worthy for me to come here and say that the path Micrososft choose with this is unforgivable and highly disappointing in my view.This was an avoidable situation on behalf of Micrososft who should have come out early with full disclosure to loyal fans that this was not a simulator, instead they kept silent while rumors and expectations of the next flight "simulator" was on all our minds.I like many others have the view that this will not catch on. Flight does not have the depth needed to keep the simmers interested and the average Joe or Julie who wants to fly a plane simply won't have an attention span long enough to be around when the addon's come out. Either Micrososft marketing knows something us simmers don't or Micrososft marketing made a very bad decision and we were right.Either way I just want Microsoft to know you lost a life-long supporter and customer over this decision. I hope for the sake of all flight simulator fans that enough feel the same way as me that the customers voice is heard.

Let's keep at one the "Microsoft Flight hate" topic... So we won't have another 25 bashing MS!

While I read and understand the point of the article I must make this point. Notice the last sentence and the word in uppercase letters? Conjecture - "A conjecture is a proposition that is unproven but is thought to be true and has not been disproven". This is no longer a feeling based on conjecture, it is a feeling based on fact. The fact is it's evident the direction Microsoft is taking Flight, and I don't like it. The time for conjecture is over and it's time to evaluate what we have as fact, the product has been released. It's a dumbed down flight simulator with a fatal flaw in my view, which is it was design to target the larger audience in hopes of generating more money while excluding the minority of the audience that actually uses the product faithfully.

Here we go again. This topic is closed. WARNING... you got your point across as well as the OP.... that is sufficient. More will only lead to bad voodoo. And I find it interesting (and my antenna start to twinge) that you only joined here a little over a month ago. Tread lightly.
