Oh my! Microsoft flight sim making a comeback!
Tue Aug 12, 2014 10:47 am
So today I had it in my mind how terrible it was for Microsoft to discontinue their flight sim. 
You have no idea how big an impact and enjoyment these had as a younger teen. So today for kicks I looked up Microsoft Flight sim just to see if there is any word of the software coming back! Holy #$%^ yes, batman! Possible Microsoft Flight Sim for 2015! I sure miss the days of going to the local stores(when stores actually still carried a good amount of computer games) and seeing Microsoft FS on the shelves! I hope the news is true and they keep it going. Maybe this will also bring a new generation of airplanes nuts to the world?

And despite what the media might think not EVERYONE that uses MS Flight Sim is a terrorist in training. I truly spent hours in the 1980's terrorizing the skyline of Chicago, New York and San Fran on a routine basis..... Pretty tough to try that touch and go on the roof of Alcatraz, the knife edge pass between the towers, landing on the Golden Gate Bridge without hitting the wires, the lear jet full reverse landing on the carrier.....maybe it was just me

Ow about bringing back multiplayer first. As soon as game spy took down the Fsx server, my Fsx days were just about done.

I'm an avid simmer but to be honest simming is still alive and well even without Microsoft and now Lockheed Martin makes a flight sim call prepar3d V2 which is based off Microsoft ESP(The training sim)
Heres a few shots.

There is something much better its called IL-2 battle of Stalingrad, it is the best combat flight simulator I have ever played way better than CFS1,CFS2,CFS3. It has amazing graphics and runs well on lower end PC's. Its no arcade shooter its a true simulator
