I guess they had to figure out for themselves that relying on making add-ons won't make you rich!
feel sorry for the staff, but its no surprise really. You kinda new it was going tits up when it appeared on steam.
yes i know i cant spell half the time! Thank you kindly to those few who pointed that out
It's no surprise. They had the business model right initially, then dumped it when the abandoned FSX. With Flight, they somehow expected to make more money by people buying their add-ons and since they weren't including the developers who make really good add-ons, it was just a bad idea. With FSX, one could buy the program for a reasonable amount and fly the world with thousands of freeware and payware add-ons.
I'm more surprised that someone there thought it was a good idea in the first place.
That's what happens when you turn your back on the community.
WHAT???? MS cancelled Flight!?!??!?! How am I going to sleep tonight? Oh, that's right...on my belly with my head cradled on my right forearm....just the way I sleep every night. No real surprise that Flight crashed already.....for me, it was dead before it was released to world.

A kick in the teeth to those people that have actually opened their wallets, perhaps they will sell off the code for some other company to pick up the baton and stumble with it.

Hmmm don't know if this is good or bad news. That new M$ strategy got what it deserved, and many are in high hopes for LM now to bring P3D further. With MS crashing with the flight concept, I wonder what will happen now. I hope this calamity has no adverse effects on LMs plans.

indeed, that was quick.
Just shows you that you should never trust any market-research based spreadsheet-managment speak...
Personally, I was amazed that flight could't keep me interested for much longer than two hours, and most of that was spent installing it.
I mean, a small part of the world that does not interest me, combined with aircraft that didn't interest me or had no cockpit, and that you could not paint or do anything with, water textures that looked very unrealistic (to me anyway) and ground textures that were not that impressive either, especially compared to my orbx world. OK, so it was smooth, but so is my FSX, so what else was there to like?
Still, too bad for all the people that were laid off, I'm sure they did their best with what they were allowed to do.
You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
For MFS paints go to flightsim.to
it should have been a sub sim
I'm sorry to see people losing their jobs, but the cancellation of MS Flight does not surprise me. I don't think Flight found much popularity among flight simmers nor among the console gaming crowd.

I did not read the link this morning but I will tonight when I get home. I have to ask: ...did they lay off the man responsible for pushing this "idea" of "Flight" and his little group of "yes men" ?... too bad for all the people that were laid off...
Yep, think there's a lot of us thinking right now. . ."I told ya so. . . ." Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone really.

what the hell was MS Flight ?
GREETINGS TORSTEN " THUNDERBOLT "
I kept MS Flight on my system for 15 mins. They don't seem to understand our communtiy, the dedication and the disposalbe income that we have. Aviation is more than a game, it's a life long passion for me and I'm sure many more: it's not just a hobby!
If government was the answer, it was a stupid question!
AMEN Brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT???? MS cancelled Flight!?!??!?! How am I going to sleep tonight?

I wonder what happens to any balance you had on the books to purchase any future addons ? Not sure what MS called it .
I don't think it's possible to put it better!
Unfortunately, MS has allowed the genre that they played a big role in defining, pass them by. Guess that shows what can happen when you let the "marketing / product development types", pitch a concept without proper research. They had their opportunities to make it whole, hale, and hearty, but chose the wrong road when they walked away from the community. The road they chose led them right out of the market.
It was, as they say, "Just a matter of time".

Just found out the answer to my stupid question . Their server is still up and I noticed they just added a Cub yesterday so apparently no more future development . I did think the scenery was good but I wish I had not even gotten involved with it in the first place . I loved their Stearman too.

Well I'm one who tried to support Flight by purchasing the island package and Alaska,only to be really disapointed with the Alaskan scenery.But all the time thinking maybe they would see the light,now I,m sorry I ever gave them a dime
