    Disappointing, again. MS claimed(in writing) that it wasn't "dumbed-down", but, "lack of navaids", "...when I take a look at the assignable controls they all almost fit onto one controller", and "Missions or treasure hunt last 3-9 mins at best", lead me to believe MS knew exactly how "dumbed-down" it is, IMO, "Dumber than a Box of Rocks".
    I'll bet my Grandchildren will love it as much as their X-Box and Wii though...Don

    Speculation is always entertaining to read.

    The only speculation in this thread was speak of grandkids and how much they'd like it. Everything else was quotes and facts. What's your point?

    Look at how stable to the planecar is after those jerky movements: if they're only releasing one plane at a time, the might as well make them with a decent flight model

    Looking at that video I am surprised microsoft did not make it an x-box title targeted for kids. I will have to ask them when they are bringing out the next Flight "simulator" for the rest of us....... after all these years looking forward to the upgrade to FSX I am deeply disappointed that there is no upgrade.

    I think I will buy another set of FSX disks tomorrow in case something happens to my current FSX disks and there is no future flight simulator after FSX
