I am really not surprised. It held so much promise, great lighting, depth, effects, graphics, but was wrapped up in a steaming pile and had no substance in the end...

I think if they opened it up to third party developers, it would have been a hell of a lot better than it was, and it might even still be going today. But ah, hindsight is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

I would believe that has happened , we will see something a few years down the track, Lockheed/Martin .. they have there thumb in the hot pie .. Boeing , well you don't know , after all it was close to the home base, I have seen P3D in a simulator .. Yeah winkyy.gif and it was great , but still a few sniggly little prob's with it .. as long as we get away from that women yelling in ya ear hole .. DO THIS DO THAT ! it will grow !
