In the US the 'holiday season' generally refers to Thanksgiving Day thru New Years Day. So between Thanksgiving (Nov. 23 this year) and Christmas would be my guess. In time for the Christmas shopping spree.

With the release date of Vista refered to as '12 months, plus', in last nights CES keynote presentation, and many of the FSX improvements apparently tied to the Vista/DirectX graphics engine, I wonder.........?

In Media Player move time slider to 31:00 for FSX preview, a 1:30 segment.

I would have to agree that we are looking at another year before FSX is released, which honestly is fine by me.

When it is released, I hope by then to have my car paid off, some of my debt down from not having a job this past year for 5 months, and the ability to buy a state of the art computer to run it.

Im not going to even attempt running it until I can get a computer that will handle it the way I want...otherwise I would probably be let down, like Im sure so many will be that are vocal with their whines

Maybe they are refering to my  holiday - which I haven't booked yet - so I can't really help much at the moment

Rest assured, this funky new FSX forum shall be the first place I visit when I get back from the travel agents.

But don't hold your breath guys............................

I would think MS will want to wait until everyone has Vista up and running before bringing out a program that relies heavily on the system.

If they came out together and there was a glitch with Vista and the sim did not work correctly I am sure it would hurt future sales (because we would all be bitching about it in here).

They will sell just as many copies of FSX no matter when it comes out, so am sure they are in no real hurry.

If most of the features of FSX rely on Vista, then FSX MUST wait for about a year so that M$ can sort out as many bugs as possible. Remember, Vista is new engine in itself. So, used in conjunction with FSX, the new sim might actually do better than its predecessors because it will take full advantage of what Vista can offer.

From what I've read, FS-X is being built to *take advantage * of Vista, but the VISTA OS is NOT required to run FS-X

I would expect FS-X to be available 4th QTR 2006, to take advantage of the Christmas Shopping Season...

they have broken the 2-year pattern...

IMO this means this is gonna be another FS revoution like from fs98 to fs2000...  this is not like fs2002 to fs2004 where there were a few improvements but it was mostly the same...
there's talk that this time it will be HUGE... i don't think the screenshots show how big the difference is gonna be  Smiley

I agree. I can see FSX sometime in 2007. Microsoft is going to see how well Vista goes over with people, and also wate for DX10 cards to become affordable. Then they will release their product to a willing consumer market. I mean if they dont, it would be like releasing a game that was SLi x16 and Vista only three days after the release of Vista. Its just not gonna happen. No boys we just gotta sit back and relax. Its comeing, but until then start saveing.

Cheers
