I really do dislike the media....

PMDG 777 is getting a lot of press now, and as you would expect from the media, focus is now on the fact that this incredible simulation is available to everyone... I wouldn't be surprised if hysteria will have consequences for the sim community.

And knowing the American media/public, have been worried about the heat the flightsim community might receive.

 

The American media/public has already forgotten any references to flight simulators.  In fact, they've forgotten MH370 and are now totally fixated on basketball.

The number of support topics on AVSIM will increase within a short time - sounds really sick, but it's inexpensive advertising for them ...   B)

Finally an article written with common sense and not hypothetical hysteria regarding flight simulation: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03/20/australian-pm-says-2-objects-in-search-for-malaysian-jet-may-have-been-found/

I think the fact that it is still completely missing in action is partly why it might die down a bit. If something is found it'll pick back up with a roar. But some people cant believe you can just "lose" an airliner, as the media likes to say. The world is huge, oceans are massive...if it is never found, I will believe it. But there are folks who just cant comprehend it and need an explanation for the unexplainable.
