I am just as excited about FSX as everyone else but I really hope that MS has done some work with the flight dynamics. It would be really nice to fly the extra like it should be flown. Now, before anyone tells me that acro in a sim is impossible, you have to see this link. This is a sim I use to practice RC flying. The flight dynamics were done by IPACS, an overseas company. The extra, yaks, suhkoi's all fly acro well in the sim. Knife edge flight is possible and positive and negative snaps are easily accomplished. I just wish that Microsoft could get this part of the sim right. It would be tons more fun to fly a real IAC sequence instead of some shaky rolls and enough power to get a couple of vertical rolls. Watch the vid to see what I am talking about. 
Of course, this is based of an RC model that has a better thrust to weight ratio but still, the flight dynamics are close to what a real extra could do.

Like many, I would wish that Microsoft has paid additional attention to the flight dynamics.

I *fear*, though, that this version has received the most attention to the graphics and environment, rather than a similar enhancement to the dynamics.

Please, don't bring that up. Pleeeeeeeease!!!!!! It bothers me to hear what happened to the Ferrari.

I know, Felix. It's a flight sim. Duh. However, I wouldn't be surprised if M$ implimented that.

Well, that's probably cause he made it 

anyone look at the video?

Unfortunately I think the only way we'll see better flight dynamics in MSFS is if MS starts getting worried about the sales it loses to the X-plane folks.  Until then we'll probably get the same flight model in all upcoming versions.  As evidence consider that they easily could have improved the flight model for the 2004 version but didn't.

I would sacrifice addon continuity for vastly improved flight dynamics.  At some point I think MS has to fundamentally change the sim, might as well be now.
