Well, I'm not that eager to upgrade anyway right now.  I have way too much time and money invested in setting up FS2004, so 2006 better be something spectacular. 

Certain things tend to remain the same in FS though.  Mesh is pretty much mesh, no matter what the sim.  Planes are basically the same configuration (model, panel, texture, sound, .cfg, .air files) since the start, with the major change being switching to .bmp's for textures instead of the old .0AF files.  I don't see autogen changing all that much, except for eye-candy.

Which means I may wait until noon on the day FS2006 is realeased... Smiley

Ditto here.  I have been "tweaking this program since just about the day it came out... and have upgraded the machine twice....... finally including a whole new machine.  I've added a lot of payware mesh / scenery stuff.

It will take a LOT of incredible improvements to get me to run out in about a year and ditch all this time and money to upgrade.  I know that I was VERY unhappy when I ran out and changed from fs2002 to fs2004 shortly after it was released........ because it took me forever and a WAD of cash to get the thing anywhere NEAR the promises on the box.

I expect that the new version will provide the same experience...... and I really do not want to repeat that too soon.  It was painful.

best,
