"Yes, the cooling down of flight simulation is something I have always predicted. The reason are new planes, fly-by-wire and the boring cockpits with two big screens. "

FS isn't cooling down if you ask m, new products keep coming and people happily buy them. Most of the best selling FS addons have been those very airliners you call boring, such as the 737NG and 777 that got just released by a famous developer.

I hope CS is still working on the Tristar, been very quiet lately...
