General scenery question (observation) after SU5

Apparently ASOBO or Microsoft marketing dept needed to rush the XBOX version before school starts next month. The problem is that XBOX can’t handle the same scenery load that the PC’s can, so instead of preserving the integrity and level of reality they had achieved after 11 months of updates, they decided to dumb it all down so they can capture the young child gamer market. After all we have already given them our money so why would they need to cater to us . All the talk a year and a half ago reassuring us that their intent was to genuinely develop a realistic simulator catering to the serious student of aviation and not the video gamer went out the window when they saw all the $ that the children’s market could provide. Good-bye realism, hello video game with lots of eye-candy. Dumb it down so any 3 year -old can pretend they are a pilot … “:zoom, zoom” on their XBox. And “climk, cliink” goes the Microsoft cash register! We had the makings of a great simulator 3 days ago. We need to all make a lot of noise until ASOBO brings back the functionality and quality that we had before the fiasco they thrust upon us with SU5 and the joke they called a fix!
