Sad day for Mxsmanic

I certainly don't have time to do all the real flying I need to do (I have a waiting list of students) much less time to play with the computer. However, I remember as a youth getting version 2.0 of MSFS and playing with that. Back then the graphics were just little white lines and you reallyl didn't know you were at an airport until you overran it. However, the simulation was ok and the gauges looked cool to me. I wouldn't worry. While MS may have hit the point of diminishing returns, there is still certainly a place in the market for simulators. X-Plane is going to get a huge boost from this, and I'll bet than one or two new simulators will be popping up to fill the void. I did see that X-Plane is now sold at Best Buy, that alone has to help sales. |
