Thread: Microsoft ACES Closing Down?

There has been discussion and concern about FS9 and its future - well I understood that MS had ceased production of FS9 just prior to the release of FSX some 2 years ago. So, if one is to remain a FS9 user, then the issue of preserving the original disks should have been addressed by those users already.
As for FSX users, it would appear from the latest news release from MS, that FSX is not dead. The internal department known as ACES Studios however is being shut down. The way that MS will be developing Flight Simulator and other games products is being re-organised: "Games for Windows - Live".
MS has stated that it "will continue to produce, sell, and support the latest version of Flight Simulator as we plan for future versions of the franchise."
So, Flight Simulator has not come to an end, just MS playing musical chairs with its staff and internal departments in light of cut-backs.
The sky is not (yet) falling.
Peter.
