Nun ist es also offiziell. Nach den heutigen Gerüchten bestätigt Steve Heijster auf Train-Sim.com, das die Entwicklung des MSTS 2 eingestellt wurde.
Zitat von "Steve Heijster"Alles anzeigenHi everyone,
I wanted to say something since I know that the IGN article was particularily focused on Flight Simulator and not Train Simulator.
ACES studio has been closed and approximately 130 positions eliminated. MS remains commited to the Flight and Train Simulator franchises, and while it is possible that the products will be continued in some form in the future, for the time being no further development is being done. In the mean time sales of FSX will still continue, and I hope everyone continues to enjoy that product and all the fantastic 3rd party add-ons for it.
I am saddened that people will not get to see our work on TS2, as it was shaping up to be a fantastic product. I just wanted to say it was nice to be able to participate in the community. I enjoy both the feedback and the excitment of the community and I hope it remains strong and looks to other alternatives.
Take care!
Steve Heijster
Microsoft behält die Rechte an beiden Produkten, MSTS wie MSFS. Laut internen Aussagen sind 6 Mitarbeiter damit beschäftigt, von den derzeitigen Entwicklungen Backups zu erstellen.
Meine eigene Meinung: Ich bein einfach nur noch sprachlos... Ein herber Rückschlag für die Szene.
