[Flight Sim Network News] Your opinions on the next flight simulator (fs11)

[RSS News Feed]

I understand aces got shut down and most of the aces team was laid off yet Microsoft has said it will continue the flight sim series in one way or another. Based on the job positions appearing on the microsoft careers website and various hints on developers blogs who are working on "an unannounced flight title for windows" it seems there will be a new flight simulator in one form or another.

Personally based on everything i've read/heard they will be releasing a new flight simulator except it will have its own online store (similar to the appstore for iphone) built in. All addons will have to go through an approval process similar to apple's app store. They will also most likely ask for a comission per sale, once again like the app store. This could also explain why aerosoft is looking to produce its own simulator as it is a major publisher of msfs addons and if a store such as this was implemented into flight sim they would lose all their publications and only have the products they make themselves.

This of course is pure speculation and is in no way confirmed.
What are your oponions/speculations?
