I'm sad about the news, that was my first taste of a flight sim ever on my friends old computer back in the middle east.
We would spent hours playing that thing, most fun was controlling the helicopter with a keyboard flying in the city.

Good times  :cheers:

Or someone will fill the gap, like Cities XL did after SimCity became a child's toy.

CitiesXL?? They charge money for every little addon that should have been already in the salesversion!  :furious

Imagine a popup-window in AcesHigh that will ask for 5 $ everytime you download a new skin...

I learned flight sims with the black-and-white version of MSFS on a 512k macintosh.  It's too bad others will be denied the pleasure.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I have no money whatsoever, so I haven't been able to try CitiesXL at all.

Didn't say they replaced it well... :D ...but they filled the gap of "City Simulator" when SimCity became PlopBuildingsOnGrass.

Not at all, the control surfaces, at least IMO, were quite close to the actual aircraft (other than actually having to change your mixture, and all the auto crud). Just gotta learn your controls, what they do, and how to do it. ;) Hardest thing for me to do in FSX was figure out how to control my ILS equipment in this beast... ;)

If you've got a good computer, FSX has amazing graphics!

My old dual core can't play it, partially the reason why I'm building a quad core and some kick arse components to boot.
