MSFS isn't a third party title, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

You learn something every day I was not aware MS had purchased Asobo studio they must have just done it.

Asobo isn't owned by Microsoft, but the sim has Microsoft in the title, and it's published by Xbox Game Studios, that makes it a partner program, which Microsoft considers to be the equivalent of First Party IIRC. I might be mistaken.

I just can't see a game with Microsoft in the title not being considered first party by Microsoft.

If i'm wrong I'll apologize.

Thanks for sharing, that's very good and reminds me of the good old times when there were TV ads for some FSxx (don't exactly recall which one it was).

Kind regards, Michael

That really doesn't mean anything.

I believe the Bing Maps 3D world platform show-world will be ready and available for this year if that Is one purpose, but i'm not sure about the Flight simulator itself.

top management and people wearing a tie can promise you things and give out a release date but they know they can post pone things if needed after, as people adore to wait for something well done at the end, and this Is what i call a marketing paradox, so they can promise things but things can change, It wouldt be the First Time something like this happens in the entertainment world, so we all depend on devs, their tools and their happyness and more importantly their health if you want the game ready and smooth for this year.

@Ray Proudfoot Could you delete my post above as well, please? The pun gets lost because I was referring to the now deleted post.
