Well I'm here and asked them about dropping "simulator" from the name and whether this has as much to it regarding the core simulation aspect as fsx did. He said "depends on what you mean". I said "pure simulator aspect...no games..missions. The thing that made it as we know it today". He said "we kept all that there but are looking in a different direction". This means other audiences. I asked "when will the world or other areas be available " and he dodged it by saying "well we are here to show and discuss the free part of the game right now only" . I didn't go into the bitc h fest. I was like "ugh whatever"

A number of you have asked, “Why did you drop ‘Simulator’ from the title of the game?”In addition to the FAQ on this topic, we want to directly address the concern that by dropping the “Simulator” from the name, we’re dumbing down the experience. Quite the contrary! We’ve developed on the “simulation” aspect for many years and have no intention of losing that legacy. What we’re doing now is improving the total experience while building on this legacy, enhancing the enjoyment for all who share a passion for flight. The more people who join us in the Flight experience, the greater the opportunity we’ll have to do even more.Many of you are concerned that because we want to appeal to a wider audience, we must be building an arcade game.We don’t need to create an arcade game to welcome a wider audience. But we do need to improve the total user experience if we’re to be successful in welcoming new audiences into the experience of Flight. The passion and fascination of flight is powerful, with so many different aspects to aviation and different levels of enjoyment to experience. There is distinct value and strength to be gained by welcoming a wider audience, and we can’t claim to have done the best job of it in the past.I think I will ask these..see if they dodge it. I dont' want to come across as press lol...maybe I'll visit them last that day :)

I'm at CES next week. I'm gonna put the marketing guys on the spot if I get a chance to. "Hey, have you seen your Facebook page"? "Any reply to that"?Anything you'd like me to ask?

This looks like what I've been wanting for a long time.. I got sick of the excuses everyone had with "but you can't compare a first person shooter graphics to a simulator since first person shooters are closed ended rendering distances". Why not? All I ever wanted FSX to be visually was that real 'sunlight' almost bleached out look like a Battlefield 3 would have. This achieves that. That is why FSX looked cartoony except at dusk. If this one had 3rd party add-on stuff like FSX but with the other things like better ATC etc that we wanted Flight to have then I'm all for it. Digital downloads of 20gigs plus are what I'm used to now. This is what games are moving to (the cloud). So 60 gig download for scenery? Who cares. Unless you are on dialup you can wait 8 hours for it. Just run it overnight.

Hopefully most of the people that sign up for beta are hardcore simmers, and leave their feedback which will include us wanting a simulation, and the whole world free flight.

Um, I think I'll be ok lol

I hope so, as I will be there at CES, but waiting a week is killing me! :)I'm hoping it is a hands on or at least watching a marketing guy drive it, rather than a video presentation or something.

I haven't seen one for December or this month....any word? No videos or pics that I can tell.
