Looking at all of this I am convinced flight sim as we have known it is finished. I predict a significant shift in the market towards a all new flight simulator within the next 2 to 4 years leaving any new Microsoft versions behind. This I feel will be the case unless they reverse their decision at some point. I believe there is enough knowhow out there that can be pulled together to create an all new flight sim which will be more free of limitations we have had with all M/S versions up to this point and still be able to acommodate 3rd party developments. Time will tell of course but I can say for myself and other users I know that if M/S has permanently axed FS as it currently exists and goes with such as has been discussed here, they won't get another penny from me for it!
