Maybe they fixed it?
I hope so. I am really looking forward to someone coming out with a flight sim that was as good as 2004. The graphics weren't great but the flight training and automated ATC were fenominal. Not to mension the flight dynamics, real time weather, and addons all worked better than any other sim. Flying online with friends was another that was at its best with 2004. Microsoft just kept dumming it down from there and essentially killed the best flight sim ever.
