Referred by Hans (VH-ANS) for a recent game licensing deal between Dovetail (Rail Simulator developer) and Microsoft he saw on the PC Pilot magazine. Worth a look if you skipped it like I did.
Sounds interesting enough to create some expectations. Not a bad thing.

Hi Tom
Thank you for all of the great information. I have already submitted my new email address which is egilbert4752@gmail.com but I did not see a way to delete my old email.
My old email will be turned off in the next few days. Would you please delete egilbert@woh.rr.com?
I look forward to your updates as we move to a new home next week and I start my build of a cockpit simulator for FSX and DCS.
Thank you
Ed

am i missing something, or where is the point in re-marketing an old product, while the main company is trying to establish a new one? even if flight is not so much of a simulator, wouldnt it make more sense to make an actual simulator from msflight?

Hi Tom
Yes I’ve seen this, heard about its announcement about a month ago, could have been a worse company to take over the franchise I suppose? Could have been Electronic Arts who have a reputation for killing leisure software franchises!
We dont know know the full details yet? its quite possibly FSX *and* Flight or one or the other that has been bought, for sure I see no inclination from MS in riving the series any-more, not since Bill left anyway.
Myself, I’m still on FSX with Steves DX10 fixer and ORBX scenery mostly, I still own P3D 1.4 and tried P3D2.0 and opted for the refund in the cooling off period … I’m waiting to see what P3Dv2.3 brings without bugs or fixed ones but its really P3D 64 bit that has been semi promised I’m waiting for, I cant see Dovetail making the investment to go 64 bit IMHO, for them I reckon they have negotiated a good price for a classic good seller to add to their catalogue and get it on Steam that is no bad thing IMHO … we’ll see.

Yes, 64-bit P3D will be something worth waiting for. Regarding Dovetail and MS’s deal, no one for sure what it is going to be. Just having a new guy coming in may bring some surprises. It won’t hurt even it doesn’t.
