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...!

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

I will more than likely buy at it first release and while still having FS9 installed. See that I like. If I like it better than what I have, I will delete the old and fly the default new and wait on addon AC and what have you. As I have no payware It won't be so bad for me to start a new. I'm pretty sure my rig will be able to handle it until next year when this Dell is paid for the new Dells will more than likly ship with Vista. That would be the only way I could get it anyway. Dell Preferred Account (rolling credit) is a wonderful thing Grin

.

Dell Dimension 8400 3.4Ghrz w/HT
1 GIG DDR2 Ram
nVidea G-Force 6800 PCI Express X14 w/256 DDR
200gig HD

I think I'll be covered even though my 3.4G w/Hyper Threading isn't 64bit. I just won't get all the bells and whistles until next year. From what I've been seeing in here, Flying with XP vs Vista is IMHO, on a scale of 1-100 i'd be flying FSX with my current Rig at 85-90%. I can live with that for now
