I'm hyped for this simulation but not the DLC as seen its from DTG developer same as train simulator. Only game I have been looking forward to as it is meant to be taking over Microsoft flight simulator. Only other downside is that not many planes been released at start as there only 7 planes and all small propeller type ones too. Again there probably leaving it to DLC but hope not. Comes out on 18th of May only 6 days to wait.

I don't know about that..

The main reason FSX and P3D are still alive is the incredible amount of high quality addons, and right now DTG insists that any addons for FSW have to be sold through the Steam store. PMDG already doesn't agree with that and I can see other developers doing the same.

One other bad thing is that its by DTG and there known for heavy priced DLC. At least FSX on release came wits jets this doesn't.

Flight Sim World looks good. But, it does look like FSX with payware addons. I recognize many screens such as the weather selection which is straight out of REX 2.0.

I'm going to miss what made MS FSX special which is the cloud and weather generator plus the very flexible MS user interface.

I doubt you'll be seeing these in Flight Sim World. I mean, I'll still buy the game. But, it'll feel like a run of the mill flight sim instead of being special like FSX.

The Advanced Weather screen, especially. I'm going to miss it. *SIGH*

One thing most flight sims can't seem to get right is the amount of haze that is present on a "bright, clear day." It looks absolutely clear on the ground. But, once you climb, you see that haze. Only FSX can model it right. At least, I can make FSX model it right.

That's why I don't pay much attention to Early Access games. Another one is Aerofly FS 2 (also Early Access). I see now that Orbx is expanding its payware enhancements beyond FSX. That's a good sign.
