Microsoft Aces Studio Alumni Form New Sim Studio

Two veterans of Microsoft Aces Studio--developer of Microsoft's Flight, Combat and Train Simulator series, closed earlier this year--have founded a new sim-focused studio.
Led by Microsoft Train Simulator 2 lead game designer Rick Selby and lead program manager Kathie Flood with "a number of other former Aces members" onboard, Cascade Game Foundry aims to "address the significant hole in the simulation market left by Microsoft's recent departure" and explore unconventional simulator settings.

Good luck to them. We need a good team/series and I will never understand what made MS abandon the longest gaming series ever.
