Good, and if the developers of X-plane have the sense that they surely have for not going down the MS route, then they will encourage these developers who now that Flight has officially gone down the drain and taken the likelihood of MS doing a decent successor to FSX within the next five to ten years with it, will be looking to take the next generation with X-plane.

Honestly, and dragging this off-topic slightly, I expect SHO to go down the route that Star Trek Online has done. You start with a Type II, the whole map is open to you, but some areas are safer than others. You probably start in the Nordsee, where if you run into a ship/warship it will be capable of being defeated by a Type II, but if you take your Type II to, say, the Western Approaches then you run the risk of running into something a bit more deadly, a Black Swan perhaps, or aircraft which a Type VII might be able to take on just fine but a Type II can't.
In terms of advancing the years, perhaps they will do it in a three RL month per game year, or something like that, scaling it so as more people level up then more advanced U-boat variations are released, or more technological toys are released to upgrade your boats with (Snorkel, sonar, torpedoes, etc). Paying for stuff might get you there quicker and avoid the grinding, and you might be able to get some unique boats with extra tips (perhaps a special 'Kretschmer' boat or 'U-96' boat) but it will still be accessible to those who don't pay. |

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?

That would be epic.

I am very, very much in agreement with both of you. Though to be honest, I've been waiting for A2A simulations to do something with it, seeing as they've owned rights to it for a few years now (and released their fantastic Accusim B-17s in the meantime)... so I'm keeping some hope that they get around to it.
