I was a beta tester for Fly! II. Negotiations with Cessna, etc. were "suddenly terminated" and all of a sudden Microsoft starts touting Cessna and Piper connections. It started quite the anti-ms rant on the tester forum.
Fly! II wasn't much affected by this - the real pain is when those fscking money grubbing, sh*t for brains, pointy-haired, no-load goat blowers at Take 2 Interactive and Gathering of Developers told Terminal Reality to ship the game on April 29th ( or so, it's been a while). They didn't care that it wasn't ready yet or that manuals hadn't been printed. They just wanted to make a fast buck and screw everyone else. When the sim hit the store shelves, it was a disaster. T2I and G.O.D wouln't pay for placement like they do their other titles, so not only wasn't it finished, it got short shrift on the sales floor.
Richard Harvey was the driving force behind the Fly! series and he was treated like crap even when undergoing chemotherapy for the cancer that would eventually kill him. I've nothing but the fiercest hate for both of those companies and the animated human excriment that run them. They deserve to be pilloried in the desert and abandoned to the carrion eaters.
*ahem*
Sorry. :)
Gee Gene I bet you feel a lot better now you have got that off your chest. LOL
"No-load goat blowers" LMAO. Thanks Gene for brightening up an otherwise dull day.
Cheers Innis
