Microsoft did WHAT NOW?!?!?!?

So in a bombshell that has rocked the simulation community, just hours after the end of FSExpo and hours into E3, Microsoft released the trailer to their reboot of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Having abandoned the genre in a less than stirling exit following corporate and community mismanagment (and some help from our own community to shoot ourselves in the foot) 7 years ago, the original pioneers of the flight simulation genre are returning.

In this episode of the Three Grumpy Simmers we distill down to the facts and try to minimize the speculation. We also reflect long and hard on where we are now and where we may head. We also reflect on some members of the community who seem detemrined to trash something on literally no evidence and counsel against being hasty in judgement (deja vu anyone?).

The Three Grumpy Simmers are back for another year of navel gazing nonsense while asking the uncomfortable questions of our community.

We start 2019 by looking at the concept of Early Access, Alpha and Beta testing and what the impacts of changing attitudes have been on the community. In the wake of the last few years the picture has definitely shifted!

Grab the popcorn and settle in for the ride!

After the depressing nature of the last assemblage of the Three Grumpy Simmers, they are back with a brighter and more hopeful subject matter (don't worry they are still grumpy)

After all the hullabaloo of payware and its haphazard pricing and quality control, the Three Grumpy Simmers highlight some of the quiet achievers and out standing treasures of the community as they talk about some of their favourite Freeware developers.

Ranging from scenery, through helicopters and over to fast jets (and everything in between) these true pillars of the community give so much more than their time to our hobby. They give passion, energy and AMAZING quality work to us for free.

We all enjoy this work, we hope you find something amazing here too.
