Just looking at it makes me teary eyed..

That’s right folks, you read right.

Microsoft following budget cuts has closed the ACES studio, the minds behind the highly successful Flight Simulator series. But fear not, for the series will continue although Microsoft have not yet stated which studio will head up the project from now on.

From Humble Beginnings..

Pictured left is the original Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0, released in 1982. Few of we gamers (sadly, I am not one of the few) were around or even out of nappies (diapers to you yankee) when this was released, and even fewer of us even knew it existed in its time. But little did we know this would become the giant it is today, and was believed to be going from strength to strength in the face of naysayers.

I guess it just goes to show you, nothing truly is for certain.
