Honestly, it's the former I'm most excited about. I don't know how deep the simulation will be yet, but if Microsoft is smart it'll cater to both casual players who just want to buzz around in a jet and those seeking a more authentic experience. The new game is being released on Xbox too, which some hardcore fans will see as a blinking warning light in their cockpit that the game is being dumbed down. Flight Simulator still has a dedicated fanbase, and this is the audience Microsoft will have to work hardest to win over.
