The future of SimV

[multiprops]

[quote]If flight does not support third party add-ons, like it seems it will not, most dedicated sim pilots will continue using FSX, FS9, and any other sim that does.

As I mentioned before; when you fly, you need someplace to fly TO.

So long as Paul keeps cooking, there will always be topics created and life in SimV

I get the feeling Pete will be the one to turn off the lights on the way out...

Wow...Just wow, ....i seriously think you should be a writer...that was amazing

[JeeS]

The question is: Is there a demand for Computer Flight Simulation?

If so - SimV will exist until that demand dries up.

Hope this will never happen! Amen!

[Keep It Simple]

I would imagine that with the failure and disapointment with flight, there will be a renewed interest and some further private developement of FSX enhancements.

Personally, I wiil admiit that I have lost some interest with FSX due the the developement of flight.
However, now, FSX looks pretty damn good!

However, now, FSX looks pretty damn good!

Heck.... fs2004 looks pretty darn good.

Raoul, to answer your first question, Flight won't support third-party & you can't even make repaints of the default aircraft because it's all in binary code.

But, the more I see of Flight the brighter the future of Simv seems, because Flight isn

I must say, I have a lot of sympathy for the actual programmers of "Flight" when they read the various forums with the disparaging remarks regarding their best efforts at producing a new flight simulator.
It must be very disappointing.
I suspect that they are working under strict instructions regarding the overall specification, and have little choice in the end result.

The Boss is in charge!... ..!

Paul...waiting to see what it is like when its finished.. ...!

Excellent point, Paul.

I would imagine that the main decisions on Flight were made by the Vice President of Profits.

Well... ...

From my present observation of; "Flight" so far, I don't think any of our favourite Flight Sim sites have anything to worry about... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

The previous (and present) MS Flight Sims are, and will be, as popular now as they ever were!

I think the introduction of; "Flight", will give a new lease of life to our ever-popular Flight Sims;...FS '98, FS 2000, FS 2002, FS2004, CFS 2/3, and FSX!

Having been introduced to; "Flight", I suspect that many/most of the new Pilots will be interested in their new experience, and decide to migrate over to the "proper" MS Flight Simulators, and therefore boost our numbers!

So......It may be to our advantage!

Paul...FS 2004... 8-)...!

...and more Folks will benefit from my; "Cookery" posts!.. [smiley=beer.gif]...!

now there's a non-corrosive positive perspective....

And we also have to remember there are also other flight sims out there that are still developing and open source like fly!Horizon and the much better known flightgear. Xplane is also there
My point being that there are others that are also developing and that have so much potential. fsx is also being developed by us 3rd party developers who every year bring an improvement to the simulations.

[andy190]

Yes hyperpep is right; there are some great free alternatives one of which I had never heard of.

But FSX is still being developed, IRIS are working on their F-22, Carenado are working on a 182 & will release their King Air at some point & All the freeware developers are still full steam ahead.
