Has there ever been a perfect simulation released day one ?....don't be absurd.  However,  the sky isn't falling either. Everyone needs some perspective. I will say this pandemic added undue road blocks to progress IMO.

That would have been a huge undertaking - there are around 1200 thousands... in the UK it seems there are no handcrafted airports apart from Heathrow in the Premium edition.

Apparently there are some "higher detail" airports that have had some special attention but not to the full level and not advertised as such, I believe Gatwick might've been mentioned? I expect there will be some coming as DLC too, we're a rich market so they'll be sure to do some (also UK2000 have said they'll develop for MFS)

Still got mine too. The third one had an impressive manual for its time, too. Remember, we bought the extra co-processor for our 386 in order to get the extra high fidelity flight model....🙂

Which is good news as they have a record of good looking products for a reasonable price, at least as far as I've experienced with FSX previously I have a couple of UK airports on my initial wish list and it will be interesting to see who releases what and when.

hehe, i had the one before falcon 3..on dos..and yes that big paper manual.

In all fairness i have to say flightsim days were soo much better than with many many different sims.

What  am going to miss most in this awesome sim are the historical planes.

Interesting , the video is the same but this time it was released on the Xbox channel. Last week it was MSFS channel.  Xbox announcement must be close. Take a look at all those comments of being excited for it to release on the Series X console.
