Spaz...

Good post.  At least they arent abandoning the flight sim arena.  Now, lets see if they go back to an easier to tweak engine in the light of FS9.  Or the ability to get HUD collimation?

I hope they make it possible for FLIR and combat mods in the SDK.

I did an email to Microsoft, and included a 'wish list' for the upcoming MS Flight.

Hope it makes a difference!

It's hard to make a wish list of a product that we still don't know what it really is.

According to official releases "they have taken the "Simulator" out of Flight Simulator. This cant be a good thing

It would be such a shame if that happens.

Maybe they have spent these years connecting thousands of aviation fanatics to brain scanners and making they play FSX while detecting when the peeks of pleasure happen. Using this data they've build Flight, a distilled version of FSX that maximize the flying experience like never before in an abstract, scary and perverted way.

There may be truth to that, except for the brain scanners  ;D

Rumors are this is going to be LIVE based like xbox and the era of the third party aircraft/addon maker is going away. Would fit perfectly within MS's goal for entertainment control through the online marketplace. Get ready for MS-approved DLC only... :/

Cloud...

Thats my suspicion too, and I think for most of us, we will stay with FSX for the forseeable future, I know I will.  Unless someone comes out with a GOOD standalone F-18 sim with a great flight model, weapons, combat, and carrier ops.

Bummer, cause some of the graphics in that movie look great.

That's just a 3d rendering engine.  Doubtful anyone would buy the rights and convert it to a simulator, but it would be nice.
