Not the right forum and nor April 1st, but whenever a (64-bit) sim closes it is newsworthy to all simmers.


Flight Sim World: Closure Announcement
APRIL 23 - DTG CRYSS
It is with great sadness that we announce the future closure of Flight Sim World.

As you know, we always had a strong ambition to bring a new experience into the
established world of flight simulation, one that deliberately overhauled both the flying
experience and the graphical fidelity, offering new ways to fly.

Unfortunately, after many detailed discussions, we regrettably don’t see a clear
direction that will allow us to keep to the development time we’d want, alongside
the player numbers we need.

So, slightly before a year since we first launched into Early Access, we have
made the intensely difficult decision to fully scale back all future development
on Flight Sim World and remove it from sale on 24th May.

Actually am surprised it lasted this long. NC

Same here NC. But it looks as though they were hiding that fact. Because they released an update 3 days ago. Probably upper management not communicating real intent to even their own internal team.

Am thinking that Aimee Sanjari isn't too happy with this announcement. She was, I believe, quite involved with the project. NC
