Yup according to the post on avsim it will be out in time for Christmas.... and according to the live webcast of Bill Gates tonight the development teams have a little under a year to finnish what they have too.. on the webcast it showed someone flying off the back of a private yaht off the coast of Maui... It was amazing... you could see the smoke comming out of the scemery, and you could see birds flying, and waves crashing, and trees waving in the wind...... OMG I want it NOW!!!!

Holy f*ck, MSFS meets Google Earth . Damn, I guess I'll need a new comp for that, don't think my old motherboard could handle that.

HOLY CRAP! I didn't think it could get much more realistic, but WOW! They even brought back the glider and the C182RG!

Take a look at the FAQ's:

"Q: What’s new in “Microsoft Flight Simulator X”?

A: Many of the new features in “Flight Simulator X” are based on requests from our loyal community who have provided creative input into our decision process. Therefore, we are excited to bring our fans the most revolutionary addition to the “Flight Simulator” franchise yet."

Looks like they really did take our suggestions into account, once I see the new 773 model(if they made one) and the night lighting, I'll be happy! They also said that FS won't be on a CD, it'll be on a DVD! I wonder how it'll all look when its done!

Damn, that is impressive. Looks like I'll have to upgrade my pc for this one. Which isn't a bad thing.

[Chris@YYZ]

oh gosh, I'm gunna need a new computer in order to be able to support that

[RingwaySam]

Whoa!! Looks good

[Sam at MAN]

WOWThat looks neat Check the scenery not the mention the glider
If my computer is 1 year old,will it be able to run FSX?

And why is it "flight sim X"?

[flyingbosshog]

My guess would be that if you have an average system as far as FS2004 preformance then you will have to bottom of the line for FSX

Holy Shit! That looks insane, talk about huge improvments! Cant wait for it, but I'll need a new computer, mines more then 4 years old now.

Pah, 4 years, I'm still on a 1998 comp that started life with Windows 98. Still works fine for MSFS9, but with FSX, it would die.

And why is it "flight sim X"?

Because it's the 10th Flight Sim. FS2004 was mostly known as FS9 already.

I really hope they put either the Garmin or Avidyne glass cockpits in flight sim X. Other than that, the screen shots look awesome. I looked at the link that was posted and alos checked flightsim.com and they have a few more shots it appeared http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/notams06/fsx0104.htm

so who's buying me a new computer for christmas next year?
