1 - that sucks
Microsoft doesn't wanna pay any good developers in house anymore. Wish those guys the best of luck.

The entire studio wasn't layed off, it was only a good chunk, a few people are still around. Over 10 thousand people lost their jobs in the past few weeks at Microsoft, I doubt these guys were laid off solely due to the fact that they were a inhouse developer.

NOO! Flight simming has been a real hobby and passion of mine. There is no better feeling than when you reel in a PMDG 747 for a night landing in dense fog...
Anyways, I am really disappointed by this news. And I mean REALLY disappointed.
Oh, and I realize that this probably isn't a complete end to the series, but it just won't be the same.

Hmm.. interesting.
IMO the microsoft simulator is not going to be cut since they are making a boat load of money off of it.
I am in the Air Traffic Control program and my school is now replacing its old flight simulators with that of microsoft FSX, i hear other schools are doing it too.
This is a lot less expensive for schools since some of these flight simulators run for more than $100k+
In addition, microsoft flight simulator "engine" is widely recognized as being one of the most accurate, real life simulations.
Edit: I also heard somewhere that microsoft wanted to incorporate google earth for its next release, i dont know if it phased out tho.

Why don't they make a flight simulator for the 360? They can use the Ace Combat engine and voice recognition to get around the limited controls.
