question

#1 so when FSx is released, will you make FS9 defunct? that includes transferring a/c, scenery, addons, etc...

(check options 1-3)

#2 will you start downloading all FSX a/c as soon as they are released on the new download sections?

(check options 5-7)

...funny thing...yesterday I read on the web somewhere, that FSX would be sold as a download only....no box, no manual, no discs etc.....and that having FS9 running on your pc would be necessary to get the download..........like a huge sort of upgrade if you get my meaning..........anybody else ever seen that? I thought it sounded daft but you never know..........

You'll just add FSX? Roll Eyes

I have FUII, FS98, FS2002,FS9 and hopefully at some point I'll pick up FSX.
I barely have time to play FS9 - once a week at best - but would love to peak at the others every now and again. Would be interesting to see some screenies from them all. I saw a site once that had them all.

I think that might be it. Can't remember- but it is awfully interesting.

An excellent read, Ben... Grin

...!

In my experience, the biggest leap forward was from FS 2000 to FS 2002... Grin

...!

Pro Pilot 2 has very accurate ATC built in... Wink

...!
...and FU II is the reason for my continuing interest in the Californian scenery...!

Paul... 8)...!

Holy crap! FS was that small? I can't believe it was small enough to be in a floppy. Today's version required 4 CDs. Shocked
