I honestly think that Microsoft wasted their time making MS Flight. Honestly they should of spent all that time and effort revamping FSX but thats probably not going to happen
. Heck Microsoft still has CFS 3 which is still at least in my opinion one of the best combat flight sims out there, if they just updated the graphics to modern standards and didn't change anything else it would be better and more realistic the IL-2 right now but again its probably not going to happen.
Why do gaming companies go and stop working on a great game to go and make a new game that is sub-standard to what the customers would expect?
