hey, if these guys want to compete with the likes of Modern warfare 3, battlefield 3, Skyrim, mass effect 3, and a million others with more action in the first mission than flight will have in the entire "game", let em.. they'll fail miserably.. Considering that the "Game of the year" Skyrim, is already waning after just a couple of months, Flight will fold in a few weeks..We on the other hand, have our "simulator" that we have poured years of experience, fun, toil and tears into. Not only that, but Prepar3d promises to be a compatible next logical step upwards for us.. To hell with microsoft.. We dont need them.. Pam
