I still do not understand how Google is not a co-defendant in this suit.

I flew to Prince Rupert BC last night. The airport is grass with a fuel tank and some lights. The town is very well populated with buildings.

Have you noticed any missing water in the covered area due to the limited OSM data used in XP10?

Is this what you were thinking of? http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/29/apple-acquired-mind-blowing-3d-mapping-company-c3-technologies-looking-to-take-ios-maps-to-the-next-level/

RYR,Thanks for the info. Just spent time at LinkedIn.com looking up these guys. It seems like a very capable crew with long histories with MS and Sim design. Looks like at least one moved on from Flight to LM Prepar3D.

Do you have any details on this? Just curious.

The free basic Flight program will come preinstalled on all new Windows 8 computers (& new X-box systems?). Additional planes and scenery areas will be purchased through the MS store.

Maybe the new team got to a point in development where they are regretting shutting down Aces and losing all that talent?"Hey, anybody here know how to make a flight sim?"
