#AvGeek News: Microsoft returns to simulation with Flight

MSFSscreenshot.jpgYep, it’s true AvGeeks, Microsoft is back with a new version of its 28-year old flight simluator. Due to the recession, Flight Simulator had been crashing on a friend’s couch in Redmond since getting laid off in January 2009, and is reinventing itself as Flight for the new version of the venerable software. Let’s hope this version can run on my Mac too. Also, I’m pretty sure Microsoft’s new branding was lifted directly from us. No word on a release date or how badly this version will eat my CPU.

Tip of the hat to Peter Sanders
