Will Be Removed From Sale May 24

Dovetail Games has suspended work on Flight Sim World, citing challenges in development and a subscriber base that was below the company's expectations.

In a notice posted on the Dovetail Games website, the company said that "after many detailed discussions, we regrettably don’t see a clear direction that will allow us to keep to the development time we’d want, alongside the player numbers we need.

'So, slightly before a year since we first launched into Early Access, we have made the intensely difficult decision to fully scale back all future development on Flight Sim World and remove it from sale on May 24th.'

Players who have already bought the sim will still be able to use it. "We want to give anyone who does not yet own a copy of the sim enough time to get a copy and keep it safe in their library for future play," the company said. "Add-Ons will also come off sale, but those you already own will still also be in your Steam library."

The company launched Flight Sim World with a goal of bringing "a new experience into the established world of flight simulation, one that deliberately overhauled both the flying experience and the graphical fidelity, offering new ways to fly."
