Hello From Port Aransas, on Mustang Island, TX
Still here, although it's hard to find serious conversations about aviation.
I've gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed in the moderators over there. I know one of them personally, and one of the others tangentially, and I never expected them to act the way they did. Cutting off an on- ongoing thread (for no apparent reason) is no better than having no moderator at all. That's the problem with all moderated forums. Good moderators are very, very rare, and a bad moderator is orders of magnitude worse than no moderator at all.

Hello From Port Aransas, on Mustang Island, TX
Yup, I've got to agree. Most of the time, it's MUCH nicer over there
-- but this sudden change of censorship has me worried. So what's up in the simulation field? I left the Kiwi back at our Iowa City hotel, so I haven't flown the sim in almost 7 months! Did I hear that Microsoft is resurrecting the Flight Simulator franchise? -- Jay Honeck Port Aransas, TX Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 On Oct 22, 10:30*pm, Mxsmanic wrote: Still here, although it's hard to find serious conversations about aviation.

Hello From Port Aransas, on Mustang Island, TX
Don't bet the house on it. *:-)
Ooooo! OOoOooo! Inside information! Buy Microsoft! :-) Seriously, I hope they bring it back, bigger and better. It's a great tool, and great fun, to boot. -- Jay Honeck Port Aransas, TX Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 On Oct 23, 7:33*pm, Dudley Henriques wrote: On Oct 23, 5:16*pm, Mxsmanic wrote: Jay Honeck writes: Did I hear that Microsoft is resurrecting the Flight Simulator franchise?

Naturally he can't talk about it due to the NDA, but I can say he's one of the best simulator talents in the business.

I don't fully understand what Microsoft is/ was trying to do with this "fresh start" approach to Flight Simulator (kinda like "scorched earth" farming, IMHO) -- but if it means we have an even better product, I'll be happy. -- Jay Honeck Port Aransas, TX Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856
