Open door to new Sims?

There was a topic posted about MS Train Sim now under development by Aces.

So I went to the blogs posted by the MSTS devs, and came across something interesting.
Not sure if this has ever been discussed around here, but here it is.

Well Train sim is finally coming back I knew that (I am glad too) I remember when they scrapped it, I was mad... CFS could very well come back but I don't know, CFS3 took a lot of flaming, but I liked it none the less. I loved CFS and the train sim.

What is interesting is that if there was a new CFS, it would be based on FSX.

If I recall some older versions of CFS were based on some of the earlier versions of FS, with CFS3 being a major departure.  

I know all the code will br similar.  But I doubt it will all be compatible.

Since MSTS had its own niche, it can come back with some chance of success.

But CFS3, despite looking nice and having a neat dynamic campaign, was always in the shadows of the IL-2 series.

Never play IL-2, but I heard it rocked.

It did. The aircraft felt awesomly.
