Well, they have to learn as well. They will get better with time, you can be sure about that. I'm in the shipbuilding industry and first it was Korea to offer cheap ships which were probably not comparable to western standards quality wise but they were cheap. Now they build very good ships, have their own research and are not quiet as cheap anymore. China is building the buy one get one free ships now but as said before, they will learn quickly! That's how the world works and that's why we progress.

Fingers crossed that MS-FS will be continued somehow. And good luck to all those who have lost their jobs!


And how long is it going to take before we need Chinese and Korean shipbuilding engineers to show US how to build ships? Ten years? Twenty years? Fifty? One hundred? And what will we build and sell in the meantime, while the east is using the skills WE taught it to sell us stuff that, two or three generations ago, we could have built ourselves.

Because make no mistake, it WILL happen, unless we stop this mentally retarded policy of looking for the lowest cost while neglecting our own skills base.

God help us if this policy keeps continuing and in fifty or a hundred years we have to fight them - how do you replace a sunken ship when you don't know how to build them?

For a few years now the best flight sim games have been coming out of Russia. But the FS franchise and all the add-ons will no doubt be played for many years to come. Bad news for the game though if development comes to a complete stop.
