FS Insider Survey?

Well, so much for that.:173go1:

And honestly, WHY does it have a nda that they know no one will obey. What are they trying to hide? That isn't a way to get public opinion.

As Rob said, they aren't even trying to get our opinions. It is just corporate B$.
 
Maybe the NDA is just a generic one? One to cover their asses and which they probably attach to every survey they ever do.

Either way MS are asking for opinions so take the oppurtunity to give them some. One thing I can guarantee is that you will either be laughing or crying by the time you've finished the survey :) .
 
Standard. Lawyers and all. If they use someone's suggestion, or it just so happens that someone's suggestion is already a planned feature, that person cant come back and ask for money. "Hay, you used my idea about flying paper airplanes in someones livingroom! I want a cut!"

This happens at Disneyland all the time. Someone suggests a ride or attraction to them, and if it just so happens to come to pass (rather by the suggestion or just coincidence), Disney gets sued for it. Its happened many many times. Its a sad truth that the world is ruled by lawyers.
 
yeah a lot of the questions were worded to make the scenarios appear interesting, Once you read past the BS you can select the true answer lol....

I dislike this, and I would like it if this WAS NOT in the next flight sim - hahah that was most of my answers. Wasn't there a question about buying parts (of planes) off Windows Live or MS Live ROFL???
 
I got to fill it out just for the shadows, they suck IMO, especially when you are on uneven ground or your tail of your chopper is sticking out over a landing pad and the shadow mysteriously is stuck in some continual multidimensional plane where shadows can hover in thin air, hey it's 2009 already, lol. :ernae:
 
I look at it as an opportunity to characterize myself as a flight simulation fan and distinguish for them the difference between myself and the 'gamer community'...not that gaming is bad - its just that I look for something entirely different in my flight sims than what I am looking for in a 'game'

I - and I think a lot of us here beside me, recognize that they are not the same thing.

This was just m/s taking a look at us to see where the cut is and maybe to see whether it is worth it to develop flying games OR flight simulators going forward.

I hope that they would do BOTH - because there is an audience for both - and because it would keep them from poisoning one with elements of the other and losing BOTH customers.

It looked to me from some of the questions as if they were trying to determine just that...which is good

as long as they continue and improve on the FS Franchise that is :kilroy:
