Microsoft Flight Simulator was such a genius product due to the number of add-on planes, scenery etc., that could be integrated into the sim due to the open-ended nature, SDKs etc. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555857 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555857 I'm hope I'm wrong, but a diluted-down, closed game is going to disappoint many of the enthusiasts who've supported Flight Sim over the years, and even in the best-case, the likelihood is that much of the talent and knowledge that built Flight Sim X is gone for good.
