If anyone is going to CES I strongly suggest that you approach them in a calm and reasonable matter. Much as I would personally like to get angry at them, if I was going, that would obviously be counter-productive. I am sure they will be expecting the angry "hardcore" crowd and will be wearing flame-proof suits and kevlar.Before you go, sit down and write out all the reasons why you're disappointed with MS Flight, and present that (verbally) to them in a cool and peaceful manner. Make your words count, don't just say "their rip-off of PilotWings sux".Perhaps this is also the opportunity to explain to others in the crowd what a real Flight Simulator should be. I wonder if one could get away with handing out leaflets explaining about VAs, multi-player flying in Vatsim etc. pointing out that you can't do any of that in MS Flight. I wouldn't do it right on MS's doorstep but near enough to catch the people interested in flying. Thoughts?Apologies to everyone if the above is suggesting that one wouldn't be calm when talking the MS people at their booth, but as this subject is very much a passionate one, it is easy to become heated at the spur of the moment (for me anyway, lol :().And don't forget to report back. Thanks, Martin

Simply ask them where they grew up, when etc... It would give us a fascinating insight into their total lack of manners, respect and appreciation for the people who made their last lovable franchise so successful. This sort of behaviour does not come from the sort of upbringing I had, that's for sure.

Without being noticed you can ###### on MS booth. It would be enough to let the crowd spot the wet part of the booth when taking pictures.

:( Sad...

Rim, you can join the 99% of the world or being a lonely MS fan. After seeing the leaked videos I wonder how can you still support MS and be a Flight fan ?I really can't understand you.

I don't like what I see, just as much as you do. Still, your suggestion is sad. Be a grown man and get over it.

I think Bert was somewhat surprised that a remark like that from you was untypical of your normal elequent and perceptive self.Oops, you beat me to it Bert.

:( Indeed. It has something to do with crossing a fine line. Now, can this thread be locked please?

Ask when Josh Howard will be leaving, or has he gone already...

Be journalistic in style:0) State clearly who you are, and that you will be uploading the video to YouTube afterwards for the purposes of video blogging. I think in the US, bloggers are considered journalists (check).1) Read the quotes above about Flight NOT being an arcade game2) Ask them why it is exactly that - an arcade game3) Ask them why they strung out the developer community, then abruptly shut them out4) Ask if there will be ANY SDK for 3rd party development in the future5) Ask them if it is possible to fly between regions - *** CRITICAL *** - an inability to fly between regions makes it USELESS.6) Get them on the record if you an about why they did what they did to the FS community at large.7) Say there has been a large revolt in the FS community since the beta was released, and would they like to comment on that?Do the above whilst recording them. Don't try and put words in their mouth or make accusations - that could get you in legal trouble. Good luck!!

"Hey, have you seen your Facebook page"? "Any reply to that"?

Good question!Best regards,Robin.

I define myself a bozoo so I am coherent with my status.Now a moderator will chime in to close the thread, usually they follow me to do that.Anyway no problem, Flight has dropped the mask like some forumers here ( you know what I am referring to ) so don't point at me because I moan, just point at who is causing the flight sim world to moan instead.Doing this maybe within 5-6 years a producer will think twice before fooling the communities, except MS, they like to do that.

We all feel the same Mark. I think what Bert was getting at are there are more elequent ways of venting one's frustration at Microsoft than what you described. Anyway, peace and all that, no hard feelings :(

Please ask them honestly what they did in their product for the people who are interested in flying....if any.

And finaly..''Did your mother drop you on your head at birth?''

Not that a single soul on these forums could ever be accused of having those personality traits.
