I've been wondering when they would finally add an airbus to the lineup.

i wouldn't get your hopes up about the default airbus

but hey maybe the default planes will be something to look foreward to this version

Frankly, I think that article is largely a load of crap!!! Strictly a ploy to sell more copies of the magazine.

There's a long standing addage that rings so true -- "Those who know can't tell and those that tell, can't know. Over time, this has ALWAYS been the case with the impending release of FS.

All the things the article claims that WILL be in FS X (?) is pure speculation -- nothing more. Take another look. Any self-respecting Journalist will refer to "sources" when describing details of that type. You'll notice there are none. And guess what? The one detail that is uppermost in the minds of everyone is noticeably absent.....WHEN will the next FS be released. They didn't dare speculate on that one -- too obvious.

In the meantime, keep checking the Microsoft FS webpages for bonafide release dates & new features lists.

EDIt: Typos. Also I cannot find anything on the net anywhere not even the article. However the writer DJ Stapleton is indeed the author of the release dates for PC Gamer.

Really nothing in that is new. Its stuff others have posted in the past just being backed up by a reputable magazine. It wouldn't surprise me if the release date was in feb as MS tend to only give a couple of months warning on their release dates instead of most companys giving a guesstimate of many months. If all of those things are true though I doubt it'll run on my computer.

What I think is funny is that half of the people wanting the next version can't even run the current with all it's advantages..... Roll Eyes

A Geforce 7800 is required for Windows Vista? If I remember right, the Geforce 7800 wasn't cheap. Are you sure it's required or recommended?

I know I can't shell out the money for one anytime soon Roll Eyes

I doubt if those are the specifications. If they were they wouldn't make any profit from it and would only sell a couple of hundred copies of it. Heres some information on Vista http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1904318,00.asp

While it mentions you can "fly around the world" just like in FS2004, it says nothing about a realistic globe in which you can fly over the pole. Thus in all likelihood we're still stuck with the same old crappy cylindrical projection. So, I won't be buying, and will probabably eventually get something else altogether.

300,000 KM/S - Its not just a good idea, its the law.

Surely, if it was going to be released in Feb'06 a Beta version would be here now? Most mags would have had a proper fly of it by now. I remember when Driv3r was due out for the PS2, there were full reviews and previews SIX months before release.

I've no doubt FSX is coming and that it'll be something special, but late 2006, in time for Xmas, is my prediction.
