"Microsoft Sells License to FS Franchise" Part 2

This whole thread brings to mind Shakespere's wonderful play "Much Ado About Nothing."

Like the play, this thread trips along at a steady pace as characters invent and pass on totally misleading information; watching this process as it undoes characters is like playing a 16th century game of Telephone, albeit in a 21st century millieu... :LMAO:

Someone said there would be a big announcement at E3.

 

After E3 no such announcement was made.

 

So people are discussing about what should have been announced and whether it might have not been announced because E3 is Entertainment and as a "serious" simmer thy should not feel entertained to begin with.

 

And so on, and on and on .......

So E3 is over and no announcement. I am just going to fly X-Plane since it is the only actively developed consumer sim. Why bother with all this speculation over a dead platform when there is a really good actively developed one?

That is so lame! 2nd post. This clown was brought to You by X-Plane.com

You are generally well-informed on flight sim matters.  Do you know anything about this?

[Christopher Low 5,359]

 

But not a consumer entertainment product; to quote the Prepar3d EULA "and only for purposes other than personal/consumer entertainment", which rules me out completely.

 

Are you seriously suggesting that you are not prepared (pun very much intended) to purchase P3D simply because you would be using it for entertainment purposes?? :huh:

Thank you for the compliment. Unfortunately I'm just as clueless as (nearly) everyone else, which is why I've not engaged in any speculation or other form of WAG.

Or "Hamlet" -

 

HORATIO

What news, my lord?

HAMLET

O, wonderful!

HORATIO

Good my lord, tell it.

HAMLET

No; you'll reveal it.

HORATIO

Not I, my lord, by heaven.

MARCELLUS

Nor I, my lord.

Seems there is a tunnel here big enough for train simulator... :lol: :huh: (sorry I couldn't resist this taboo subject)

All that we have established so far is that it is most certainly not the executive director of a particular airline "out there" (somewhere).

 

If we keep eliminating like this, we're bound to come up with the answer before Armageddon :lol:

Flightsim.com's forums seem almost dead, not dead in the since that Simflight's forums are but lackluster just the same no matter what you post.  You can post something over there and get 1 or two replies in six days no matter the importance.  It's sad because along with Avsim I want that site to stay prominent as well.  I post over there at times to help keep the traffic up but it's night and day compared to Avsim.  There's a flood of conversation/information here that's not found anywhere else in our community.

Or maybe they( members) spent more time flying.......just a thouhgt.
