Most people own FS9 or FSX. Microsoft Flight is going to come out, and people are going to want to buy it (mostly FS9 users who are looking for a new Flight Sim). Once Flight comes out, many of those FS9 users are going to become Flight users, and creating addons for FS9 then will be like creating addons for FS2002 today.

Will Microsoft Flight have backwards compatibility to FSX models in the same way that FSX does to FS9? Because of the money I have paid out on FSX add-ons, I would like to say yes, it will. BUT. If real progress is to be made in Flight Simulator itself, then it should not. And if we do lose that backwards compatibility, it doesn't matter, I will STILL be spending money on my favorite hobby. That won't change. The hard part is waiting for the developers to redo them for the new Flight Sim program. THAT'S PROGRESS! ;D
