It would be amazing if they gave this an online battle royale mode.

  Hardcore flight sim pilots will scoff at your comment, however, optional gamification (battle royale or missions) would make it more commercially successful, funding future development.

    In this case, they should make a fortnite clone that is played in real cities.

    Create a competitor to Digital Combat Simulator with this engine and watch the fanbase jump.

  The downvotes are disappointing. If you don't have think it would be fun, just don't upvote maybe?

    I'm excited by the idea but I have to agree with an analysis by Frooglesim: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbTSy409BjY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbTSy409BjY). Microsoft has closed down their Flight Simulation franchise twice now, presumably because it became unprofitable. Microsoft isn't launching this new simulator for nostalgic reasons - they are a business. This next incarnation, as many have speculated, will almost certainly NOT be a program you install locally. So what happens when the servers go down, or your internet connection is not working? Most importantly: Many people are speculating that 3rd party content will only be available through MS's online store. So not only is the simulator NOT installed locally, any add-on aircraft or scenery you purchase will also only exist in your online account. People could easily spend several hundred dollars for add-on aircraft and scenery, so what happens if this venture isn't the success MS hopes it will be? They may close it down again and this time, all your stuff goes "POOF". Do you get a refund? I think not.
