Microsoft Flight simulator is not almost forgotten. Even after getting discontinued for consumers, there is still a large active community on steam more than 10 years after launch and people still pay for the commercial p3d version of the engine.
I'm sad that Microsoft chose to discontinue Flight Simulator and Midtown madness, but I can hope for a return much like age of empires.
Is too late too edit my comment now, but I stand corrected.
Microsoft Flight Simulator will never be forgotten.
Myth: T.F.L. the same. Not on Steam , tried to get killed by his own parents, but we never let it die, even going a little off. And some heroes reversed-engineered the server and there is a Multiplayer server still running today.(will never forget you guys from Project Magma)
