Stephen Borick emailed me to say that his Nexgen flight sim project is no more, which surprised me since there has been no official announcement from Stephen to this effect, and lots of followers of this project have been checking into facebook and the NGIS site these past months/years still hoping that he'd be able to deliver on his promises.
Here's the email

Re new sim
Hi ***,
After two years of negotiating with Diamond Visionics for use of their engine and never coming to an agreeable point, I felt we had lost our window of opportunity with the likes of Prepar3D v4 and X-Plane 11 (as well as others) being released, so we have closed up shop.
There are, in my opinion, two simulators available that you should keep an eye on and support any way that you can. The first is X-Plane 11, arguably the best current simulator out there and their plans for the rest of 2017 and beyond are only going to make the simulator that much better. The second is Flight Sim World (DTG)... no, I'm not kidding. The potential for FSW is absolutely amazing and more importantly, DTG is turning to us, the flight simulator enthusiasts, to steer them in the right direction. Time will tell with FSW, but if DTG is true to their commitment to us, FSW can be one amazing flight simulator. Plus the price is right! And if you already have FSX or P3D addons the FSW community has figured ways to install them into FSW.
My suggestion is to purchase both X-Plane and FSW and enjoy the ride!
Thanks for your interest in NGiS.
Sincerely,
Stephen Borick

All that time wasted by so many of us. Oh well, at least Stephen tried I suppose. But the 'naysayers' were right all along. The Nexgen sim was vaporware right from the start!
Its like Luke said, "Talk is easy, coding is hard".
BTW. I see Stephen is now promoting X-plane and variants of FSX, despite these past years denouncing these sims as being 'old code' and 'obsolete'.

Stephen said in 2015:
"The Future of Consumer Flight Simulation is secure...
just keep in mind, when the Next Generation Flight Simulator is
released... and you're friends are busy flying around... it's still
just vaporware... until you install it on your computer... and then
it's just an installed program, until you actually use it".
