Join the team responsible for building the most fun and rewarding flying experiences available on Games for Windows Live. Does working on a small, innovative team that delivers the most immersive flight experiences available today on the PC intrigue you? Our technology makes available entire continents - potentially the entire planet - for a detailed and dynamic 3D experience. We are looking for a Project Art Lead who can define, refine, and extend the visual elements while balancing the need for fun and approachability for a broad set of users.

Surely that does not sound like they want to make a real simulator, but neither a limited action game like Crimson skies. Immersive flight experiences, entire continents sounds more like fly a highly simplified beautiful aircraft over beautiful scenery, perhaps missions as in FSX.
