I wonder how this will fare for X-Plane. As far as I know, it's still mostly written by one person and provides a simulation that some argue is superior to Msft Flight Sim. I just bought X-Plane a few weeks ago, but have never used MsftFlightSim, so can't really compare.
Anywho, sad to see MsftFlightSim go, I gather it had quite a following.
