Microsoft not out of the flight sim game after all...

[Flyby]

I hope MS codes the new sim to make use of multi-core processors up front and not as an after-thought. I think FSX, FS2004, and other MS efforts have their place. They seem to have large followings, and companies make and sell add-on aircraft for them. I own FS2004, and it was kind of neat flying from a local airfield and cruising the area.

I liked CFS3. I liked CFS2. Both were/are beautiful sims, and there are plenty of 1% planes to add, and expand the enjoyment of these sims. CFS3 could have used coding for multi-core processors (if they were around). Perhaps a new effort on that front?

There are only a few producers of flight sims out there, and fewer still of combat flight sims. Room enough for all, and to each his own flavor. Combat flight sim fans are such a tiny market, I'd say any company trying it's hands must have a huge set to carry around. I respect that. That's my opinion. I'm sticking with it.
