The Sky Is not the Limit?

Hi everybody,

I wonder what that saying means, could it mean space flight isn't far behind? Will we be launching and retrieving rockets in the near future?

No, it's because the servers are (at) the limit....

Could be... Microsoft did have a space simulator way back in the day.

I am surprised they got caught out again, you would have thought with whatever figures they got from pre-orders, they would have  had an idea of the likely load. They were hammered from the very second it was available, so i doubt that came from new sales right away.

Why bother - everyone knows that KSP1 is the ultimate space simulator anyway !!

KSP1 is definitely one of my alltime favorite games. But another good one is Orbiter, which is similar from an orbital mechanics perspective, but it's a first-person cockpit game rather than a "build the rocket and watch it fly from the outside."  MS Space Sim was kind of a cross between the two - you didn't build anything but it was closer to Orbiter than KSP in gameplay.

Both of them are hard as all getout because unlike a real space program, you don't have anyone in mission control doing all the math for you. You get to do all that yourself, sitting in a cockpit not really knowing where you are or when to reenter so you have a shot at landing at the Cape. 😉  Oh, and autopilot largely doesn't exist so you get to hand-fly everything, making it yet again more difficult than real life. In short, they were freaking great. 😉
