What is "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2014" I have been hearing about and how does it compare to FSX?

Thanks

I would think that it's an April Fools Day joke. Don't trust what you have heard, or read, about it today. Wink

Hello Mark. Getting harder each day to tell difference between the truth and a lie - like what really happened to MH370.

I got that email too, and I almost posted about it myself, until I realised it was April 1st. Wink So you weren't the only one who was fooled! Shocked Grin

As much as I wish it was true too.  But I do question the timing and if Microsoft really wanted to do 2014 then we wouldn't of been given Microsoft Flight.  If flopped faster than Windows 8 did.

I think they got Microsoft Flight very wrong. They did not want to hear what the fans wanted. I have been Flight Simming since 1984 (on a Commodore 64), and to see what it is like in FSX, then to see them go backwards so badly with Flight. I was bitterly disappointed with MS.

It is possible that they could take Flight Sim up again, they are a very wealthy company and their next version could be done from scratch and improved dramatically with all new coding.

We can always hope/dream. Grin
