Well OK,,, as you stated, all this over just a game
???
Heres the situation :
Theres the Generic Basic Flight Simulator user, who uses the Simulator maybe once a month if that,, and has very little if any PAYWARE add ons or Additional Quality Freeware add on's.
Then theres the HARDCORE Flight Simmers, who have hundreds or thousands of dollars wrapped up in the Add On's, Software and Hardware
Just a game
?
NO, for the really true HARDCORE Flight Simulartor Pilots who have thousands of dollars wrapped in their Computer Rig, Hardware and Software,,, this is like a big Major Fantasy HOBBY !!!
An Expensive Hobby that they take very very serious, - very Serious !!!!!!!!!!
Back when Microsoft came out with this Disasterous thingy ma jobber called Flight, they and some other HYPE Artists, tried touting it as the next best Flight Simulator with all kinds of potential and tried to HYPE up the planes as great.
this was before it actually was available to users , more less a preview
Then eventually it was available to users, and then we found out the TRUTH,,
NO Virtual Cockpits
NO ATC / Air Traffic Control
NO other A.I. / Artificial Aircraft flying around - Extra planes in the skies
NO other scenery but HAWAII to Fly around in, unless you purchased Alaska, which was real iffy as their were log in purchase problems from a lotta users.
NO other way to Inject your Aircraft and scenery into this new thing called flight
NOTHING would be Compatible, from your current Simulator to this new thingy ma jobber called Flight
So, that would leave users with a Flight Simulator that was basically worthless for the NEW Version does NOT accept anything from the previous simulators !
The New version FLIGHT, took away a lot , a hell of a lot Major Big Time from what we currently have
To be Blunt - they offered Flight Sim users a Double Cheeseburger , and what we really got was 2 pieces of Bread with NO MEAT or extras !!
Now how would you Feel, if you ordered a Double Whopper Cheese Burger, and you end up with 2 pieces of Bread, NO MEAT , No pickles, No tomato's , NO Cheese
This Sums up HOW Flight Simmers really felt about the New Flight :
