This is a total disaster for the customer and I guess a bitter taste of
reality that high-spec sims are too expensive, too risky, and don't offer
the immediate financial returns that a wider-appealing investment can.
I've been reading the flight-sim newsgroup and it really is a royal
suck-fest. I can't believe that Hasbro would take the Falcon 4 investment,
and throw it away, just at the point where the code is pretty much working
and can be extended forward to the future titles.
What a load of crap. Bean-counters should be annihilated.

It happens elsewhere. I know a very clever aero engineer who did a lot of
coding at DID, starting with a mid-development overhaul of EF2000. They
invested a lot into their aero model, but now seem to be dumbing down
their sims as well, being happy to pump out "Wargasm" type
products. Naturally, my friend has moved on.

Spectrum Holobyte were the real people who made F4, I think they owned
Microprose, but when Hasbro bought them out, they sort of seperated. I
dont think it will have any effect on GP3.
