Thanks to ACES!

Thanks Aces... have been a fan since flying over 2D World War I landscape.

Thanks.... Also I wouldn't have met the fantastic people here... many who I have had the opportunity to meet in real life.

Thanks... for all those hours of fun, the sleepless nights trying to make a realistic Pearl Harbor, to helping Sim-Outhouse win it's first Round The World title.

Thanks.... for caring and jumping in to participate with the community...even when you were not treated so well.


Thanks.. most of all for the memories... including the ones where I got to meet you all.
:wavey:
 
Yes indeed, thanks everyone at Aces. Some of the best times I've ever had in front of a computer were thanks to you.

So long and thanks for all the fish...

So now the market is wide open at last. Microsoft probably did the flight sim world a big favour.
 
We have started a Facebook Group yesterday in support of FS and more specifically in support our many FS friends at Microsoft who were so rudely fired this week !

It may not help to bring FS development back on-line, but at keast it will show your respect and compassion for those people who have changed so many of our lives over the past 30 years !!!

JOIN NOW !!

Thanks Aces for the best flight simulator ever, and for the best platform to build planes for.

Best wishes folks!
 
Got my first pc and Fs98 10 years ago and been relatively obsessed:costumes: ever since. Thanks ACES:applause::engel016:
 
Hear hear!

I don't know who could possibly have the resources to pick the product up (Electronic Arts?) but over the longer run it's also not good for the third party software makers.

I can say I'm very satisfied with FSX's capabilities- my tribute to the fantastic work of the ACES team... though I was looking forward to an FS 11 that is 64-bit and somewhat better engineered for multi-threading (as we know, FSX's multi-threading was an afterthought as described by Phil Taylor long ago).

I know these are tough times - seen the effects all around me- but I just find it hard to believe that a company like MSFT, with their resources and departments like Microsoft Research, somehow couldn't keep at least FSX going, even if it meant trimming staff to get the project to break-even.

See this thread http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?threadid=8911 for a comment on that...

I hope that FS will continue to be the wonderful hobby it has been - I refuse to believe that the callous management *******s at MS can destroy this most magnificent of hobbies!

Thanks all you aces from ACES for doing your stuff so well!
 
Just wanted to chime in and say that I am sorry for those people and their families who lost their jobs - hopefully with your training and background you can get on your feet soon.

Thanks to all former and recent Aces employees. Making it an open sandbox for everybody has been a great thing.
 
Thanks ACES....

As to MS, I reckon they just visit the forums, look at the "Left hand columns just under the avatars" and think to themselves "Bunch of old fogies, flightsim won't be missed"

Cynic, me?
 
Thanks ACES!! Even though some of us jeered @ FSX we still will cheer for you and the entire FS franchise.

:woot:
