I was a little disappointed about the 64 bit thing too.  I was seriously hoping that fsX was going to be a "lightyear" jump from fs2004.  64 bit would have held GREAT promise for processor intensive actions.  Even if I had to wait to buy it until I could afford the new hardware... I was hoping that what it would do would be "astounding".

In a sense...... it is sounding more like a similar upgrade to what happened from fs2002 to fs2004....... which was good... but not earthshaking.

Yeah, they have gone for the mass-market thing again.  Which since they are a buiness is the correct strategy.  It is just disappointing that we'll have to wait yet another almost 3 years to get the 64 bit stuff in FS.

What the visuals seem to look like is fs2004 with a lot of payware installed.  If you add stuff like FScene textures, American Roads and Streams, FSGenesis mesh, and so on........ it looks a lot like many of the screenshots they've posted.

And some of the features they have added seem to have been inspired by stuff like FS Passengers.

Yeah... the flying birds seem interesting....... but even those are already available.  So unless the new brrds "behave" more like the real thing....... that's been done too.

Hopefully there is a LOT more than what they have teased us with so far.

There is always the chance it could be upgradeable in the future to 64 bit compatibility. There is still so little known about the program that its too early to tell.
