it wasn't an MS product originally, it was a SubLogic application, and I had a copy on my Commodore 64.
X-Plane is, in my opinion, a more accurate flight simulator than MSFS is, but I enjoy the training modules MSFS X offers, even though in those training modules oftentimes the program takes over the flying part to some extent. X-Plane is a very accurate and enjoyable sim, less a game.
The other sad part of this layoff is, that the same team was also developing MS Train Simulator 2, which was scheduled for release sometime this year.
