Why Do I have a strange feeling that in about another 3 to 5 years, none of this stuff we all have in our Simulators or Our Simulators is going to work,,, at all,,,
they'll be some New Windows operating system out yet again, that for whatever reasons, won't be compatible with Flight Simulator whatever version,,, not to mention 1/2 the planes we have or other Add On's we've installed in our past computers.
I've been Flight Simming since 2002, when I had the Pro edition,,
Even with Prepar and all the other stuff,, its like a Venue nobody else wants to take up, and continue where Microsoft left off.
I hate to think, of a New Flight Sim, coming into the seen, with only a few cities and maybe countries to fly around in and no other way to have the Aircraft you'd really want,, Kinda like that Disasterous FLIGHT fiasco, they tried to shove down our throats, that wasn't worth a hoot,, for all the phony BS Amped up Advertising about it, that only gave users HAWAII and Alaska if you purchased it,,, and NO ATC, Float planes or Jetliners or Heli's,, just a basic 1/2 assed poorly made cheap, yet expensive Disasterous Sim, somebody thought we'd all go to our knees for,,,,,
Boy, were they Full of themselves - found out Differently , didn't they , for Flight is no more, thankfully !
Well its been fun,, with all this Flight Sim Stuff,, thru out the years, I've limited purchases on payware lately, for I'm afraid of not being able to enjoy them a few years down the road,,,,
Who would of thought back in 2005 or 2007, that Microsoft would of gave up and Deserted the Flight Sim Venue, nobody would of believed it back then and told ya, you were full of BS !
Systems are Changing, times are changing, attitudes are different now , many of us whogot into this Flight Sim stuff, way back when, are getting older now, some have retired from the Venue / Hobby, some unfortunately have Passed Away,,,,,
The Younger Generation either isn't all that intersteaded , like we were, except a very few, or they want Fast Action Arcade Gaming style Games / Simulators with lots of Action fast paced , that doen't require hours upon hours of Tinkering and Tweaking with the Game / Sim, to make it work on whatever system they have,,,,
I've got just over 4,500 Aircraft for Flight Simulator FSX Gold / Acceleration edition, some Freeware and some Payware,,,,
I just wonder, if 5 to 10 years down the road if I'll really Still be able to use any of em'
?
Kinda like that Real World Weather Application, thru Jeppesson that we thought, Assumed would always be there forever,,, Isn't,,,,
Ya, theres X-Plane, but, I'm Not going to Dive into it, This is the end of it for me,, once Microsofts FSX quits and won't work on anything anymore in the future,, computer wize, that is for whatever reasons, and who knows what that'll be, till we cross that bridge and find out !
But I see it comin, unfortunately down the road.
that or,, Computer Desk Tops become a thing of the past - History,, just like 8-Track Tape players or the VHS Tape or Beta Max or that Lazer Disk,, that once was touted going to be the next big Rave,,,, if ya remember the 1980's, early 1990's era,,,, look what happened ,,,,,,
Soon DVD's and CD's will be Obsolete, who's gonna need em', when ya can download movies, music, games - additional Aircraft whatever straight to your HDTV Flat panel TV or music device, much like being able to actually download these Aircraft in high Def detail, like Carnado's or Captain Sim's or Just Flights or PMDG's,,,
who'd of thought way back when,,,
Going to be intersting to see what the next 3 to 5 years holds in store for Flight Simming & simmers, those of us that will be left and still somewhat into it.
Your thoughts if any
Jet.
