Strange that Microsoft used OP's project in their game, but didn't bother to let him know.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It was. The popular text adventure format at the time just doesn't work well in a flight simulator for some reason.
You don't need graphics for a simulator. https://archive.org/details/msdos_747-400_Precision_Simulato...
In fact, in the early 90's, I was one of the first people in a Virtual Airline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_airline_(hobby)
Not just the first VA, but one of the first few people in the VA. I was tasked with "designing" aircraft for use with our VA. When FS5 came out, you could modify the looks as well, so I'd get the flight dynamics as close as I could and another guy would build the model of how it looked. I forget what that package was called, now. But it was a lot of fun. I don't think any of us had an idea that VA's would turn into a Thing. We were just teens having fun :)
It's apparently not the OP's fault; he just wrote it, he didn't link it into the product.
Why can’t I view GitHub on mobile without having to sign in to the app. I don’t want to sign in to the app; I don’t remember my password; I can’t be bothered to authenticate. Bad UX.
I thought Easter eggs had been deprecated years ago; non-functional code, increased bloat, increased attack surface. To link in a complete game emulation as an EE seems - stupid. It's apparently not the OP's fault; he just wrote it, he didn't link it into the product.
An Easter Egg in Microsoft Flight Simulator? What is it, press a special key combination and a Spreadsheet Software pops up?!
