'Microsoft Flight' announced ... minus the 'Simulator'

Sep 11th 2010 6:35AM (Joystiq)
This new version could be the ultimate realization of flight simulator or it could be quickly doomed to fail but only after swindling cash from the mouths of babes who know not of the much greater realm of FS. This next generation of sim will only be welcome to the experienced and dedicated sim pilot if it has the following 10 coordinates; Nothing more...nothing less, I guarantee it. --Jeff of simsamurai-dot-net

#1--Affordability and low..low monthly fee like $5.00 low.
#2--World LOD greater than 13 for the entire planet.
#3--Better stock autogen than payware.
#4--Weather, water and sky textures as great as R.E.X.
#5--Willing participation and or compatability with existing ATC server services like IVAO and VATSIM.
#6--Pilot should retain the ability to control, mod, manipulate and install 3rd party aircraft freeware/payware to include aircraft, liveries, gauges, panels, sounds, and effects.
#7--It should allow pilot to use / import all of their existing FSX aircraft, gauges and panels, etc.
#8--It should have native widescreen format and ability to use unlimited amount of monitors for panoramic effects such as the ability to use two matrox boxes for 6 displays and still have other monitors with undocked panels for flight instruments. (just like I do now!)
#9--Native 64 bit and multi-core optimized. Seamless Windows 7 integration...no 500mb service packs!
#10--ludicrous Frame rates while flying in ludicrously high detail.

Its a tall order and is one I just don't see happening. So, reality check folks, ....I smell epic fail. Back to FSX!
