I remember MS Flight Simulator 95 being reasonably good on my first PC with a whopping 1gig hard drive, bugger all RAM and a crappy graphics card so how come MS or anyone else don't make an all bells and whistles Flight Sim for Xbox or Playstation?

Surely the power of these consoles far exceed what was around in the mid 90s?

The only thing I could find on my newly purchased xBox 360 is Flight Adventure by an indie German company for only £1.99. The graphics are a bit Nintendo 64 PilotWings but the single prop aircraft does respond in a similar way to my limited experience at the controls of a Cessna 172.

One runway and a big mountainous island so I've been playing at being a bush pilot in Indonesia biggrin

Managed to land in fields and take off again but have not successfully landed on a bare mountain.....yet.

But back to the original question, anyone know why?

There's 8 buttons/triggers and a D-pad and 2 joysticks, surely that's enough.
