I am new here, so please forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere (or is a forbidden subject!)

Somewhere, somehow, someone must've heard some rumor(s) about the next release of MS Flight Simulator.

A birdie whispered into my ear that we'll see an Airbus...

That would be fs10(not the current version) - as a stock aircraft.

It should be challenging, considering that the Airbus doesn't always do what you tell it to do.

Ooops , i meant FS10, but still it is nothing new as people have already made Airbus aircraft for FS9.  Though as stock aircraft it could be interesting.

Its quite annoying that we never get any good rumours about FS 10.
I know why Microsoft will never tell us the new features, but still it would be nice to get a taste of what they are thinking about.

I doubt they will crate Airbuses as stock aircraft since they didnt even make a Concorde for 'a century of flight' , surprised they didnt make a b2707 instead  .

You took the words right out of my mouth.

We could start a few rumours, that would be fun.  I'll go first.

I have heard that it will cost £55 and come on 7 DVD's.  All of the terrain will be photorealistic and the mesh 4 times more accurate than the current standard.  It will not be playable without an internet connection and there will be very little in the way of AI traffic. Instead all users will be online all of the time and the player will see realtime sim "traffic".  This bloke told me and his cousin works for a bloke who is married to the sister of the uncle of the man who dry cleans the shoes of the woman who sold some plane tickets to one of the programmers.  This is therefore A1 material and should not be disregarded.

And there will be traffic and people everywhere.

I would love that to be the case.

AND you will need the NASA computer to run it on.

Seriously, as a conventional twin or 4-engined jet airliner an Airbus would not be much of a challenge. It would be nice to see the flight model extended to cope with more than 4 engines & mixed powerplants. This is what I would like to see.

Will I don't think the other pilots are ready for me yet, yet alone thee, Roger and me
This could be fun 8)
Fozzer won't like it, everytime he is chuffin' around the Bay in his Cessna he'll get buzzed by either a gaggle of Spits, an inverted 225 or Concorde doing something particularly daft

Think of the opportunities for mayhem!

I'd lose my license in record time.....

You guys missed the best part about the new FS10.

Supposedly it's going to come with an inflatable co-pilot that you can blow up and sit in the chair next to you. It's good company on those cross-country or oceanic flights.

Thank God Spitfires are single-seaters, now if they could do a Cameron Diaz.........

I think he would prefer Jordan Doug

Quote:

What he prefers & what he gets are 2 different things. I deny all knowledge of blow-up dolls myself but from what I've seen of them they all look like Vinyl Vera.

What happens at the Sweet-Sixteen? Does her nose get rescaled in gmax?

Thats NOTHING, since I've lived here my beer belly has increased three belt notches

Congo just took this to a whole new level.  lol

The only rumour I have ever heard is FS2006/FS10 will be XML only....we can kiss all those API's we have goodbye! 


FaxCap

Probably it may take advantage of DX9-maybe it could use many DX9 graphics feature-eg. VS/PS 2.0 or 3.0.
