Comments
A bit late, but to explain the Microsoft/Asobo situation a little, Asobo is fully independent, but Flight Simulator is still Microsoft's product and they remain in charge of the overall direction of the series. There are actually quite a few different developers working with Microsoft on Flight Simulator now, so it's not just Asobo. Asobo remains the central developer of the core engine, but there are developers working on other aspects such as the flight planning, some of the AI/autogen stuff, the animals are being handled by the Zoo Tycoon devs, many of the planes are being developed by other third parties, and so on. So you have Jorg Neumann at Microsoft helming the ship and coordinating with all the different developers, with Asobo being one of many (albeit the biggest and most important one).
