>Hi,>>I don't even think Fs needs to try to attract people who don't>like flightsimming. I agree. But you know, they weren't trying to attract people that *don't like* flight simming. That's not what Microsoft said. Rather, they were trying to attract people that are sort-of-kind-of-a-little interested in flight simming...and draw THOSE people in.

Doubt that will happen in 18 months, heck it takes them that long just get an SP1 out for their development tools (which are in bad shape, you think FSX is Beta, just try VS 2005 someday).Anyway, I think most agree and know their is something wrong on the performance side of FSX -- I think it's current state of performance will hurt the 3rd party vendors more than anything.Rob.
