I won't buy it if:

*You can't get free addons from the community developers like you always could
*M$ has control on add-ons
*It is more a game than a simulator even with sliders maxed.

I WILL buy it if:
*You can download free addons regularly on sites like this and other community Flight sites
*It can behave like a real aircraft
*It can have realistic Google Earth style scenery so that my flights can replicate real flights
*I don't have to keep spending money to get more addons.


The enthusiasts for home flight simulation are out there. I am not sure MS Flight will meet their needs. I would not be hopeful about a small addon company like aerosoft having the resources (which is $millions) to develop a good alternative.

There is still some hope that other sims from $billion companies may rise to meet our needs. - Or the community can develop ourselves 'Flightgear' - which can be as good as FSX if it was developed.

Yeah. and if it goes payware people will start going mad and running around screaming saying that we have lost a quality game e.t.c. Ironic

Be it ever so clear that I'm not advocating for Flightgear going payware, and actually, if it happened I'd be pretty cross. As much ironic it may be though, my consideration remains true. Had Flightgear not been freeware, but had people had to pay for it, it would have a much bigger fanbase.
