Does anyone remember FLIGHTSIM WORLD?

Does anyone remember FSW? or no aircraft, no flight simulator.
I try to support Dovetail. I acquired FSX-SE and FSC. The arrival of FSW for me is positive and the sim works properly in my PC below specifications.
IMHO Dovetail is not handling correctly the issue of aircraft compatibility with FSX, which is fundamental to the success of a simulator.
Prepar3DV4 has demonstrated that the conversion of FSX to 64 bits allows the airplanes to be mostly compatible. The recent announcement of another simulator FlyInside, whose sales argument, is that can load “hundreds of FSX airplanes”, confirms what I say.
There are many comments on simulation forums that Dovetail do not have contact with addon developers, which aggravates the problem.
And another very important point, the free developers have an important role in the success of a simulator.
At the moment I can say that in many simulation circles there is no more comment on FSW that has been relegated by P3D V4 and I think that if Dovetail do not react quickly, will lose the market of the actual flight simulator users who are the ones who most demanded the 64 bit simulator.
My concern is about aircraft compatibility (sceneries are mostly compatible). I'm not concerned about if the actual FSW scenery is a FSX scenery with Orbx faded textures, that can be improved, for me it is not critical at the present development stage of FSW.
Concerning Aircraft Dovetail seems to be working in a bubble. But see how FSC has been discontinued.
