I think anyone who has an interest in Flight Simulation will agree. The most stupid thing about Flight is that fact that Microsoft decided to develop and own all the DLC itself, locking out all third party developers (except by invite); and yet have so far failed to deliver any exciting content. We're still stuck on Hawaii and flying through hoops in GA aircraft. Nothing here is new - nothing impresses. Where do we go from here?

All MS had to do was fix the problems in FSX, make it support multicore processors and DX11, revamp the interface and make some general all round improvments such as to the ATC and so on, and it would have been a sure winner.

The philosophy behind Flight is so stupid that it could only have emerged out of corporate bureacracy far removed from the original vision of Bruce Artwick. I mean, to strip away functionality and make it simpler to make it more accessible? Imagine doing that with software like Excel, or Photoshop. "Let's take away all the complicated fixtures and just have a few simple functions and then we can sell it to six year olds". It just doesn't make sense. But as I said, we're talking about a corporate bureacracy here.

And when will Microsoft discontinue GFWL? No-one likes it, and fewer and fewer publishers want to use it.
