I understand that you have already heard this from me a dozen times over, but I am beginning to see new people coming in while spreading these "bad rumors" about FSX. Hopefully, the mods would sticky this thread so that users can see the following message so that they can think before they act. I also ask the mods to sticky this thread because I am getting rather tired of saying this over and over again.

Please, please, pretty please, pretty please with a cherry on top, please don't spread any rumors about FSX and what M$ is intending to do without proper confirmation. A perfect example of a confirmation is a link to an official article with legitimate sources.

I also understand that everyone is entitled to state their opinions, but please don't state any opinions as if they were facts without following the advice that was just mentioned above.

Please and thank you.

*Katahu ducks and covers just in case*

Nothing wrong with opinions, since an opinion is expressed by an individual based on what he/she finds from personal experience in a given topic.

Likewise, a counter opinion has a contribution when expressed from an unbiassed point of view.

This is called free speech.

As for justplanecrazy, you're right. We should be skeptical. Skeptical about rumors that is.

And that the SDK's will not be gMax or FSDS compatable. Back to AF99 folks!

I find that hard to believe, I see SDK making plugins to be used in FSDS and Gmax... making the 3rd party addons acceptable.

I guess that means EVERY plane will have guns?

I've heard they're scrapping FSX and skipping straight on to FS11.

I'd like to add one thing to the post by Katahu:

Please,please,pretty please,pretty please with cherry on top-DONT POST ANY MORE LINKS TO FSX VIDEO WITH HELICOPTER ON OIL RIG RESCUE MISSON!!!

I think Katahu may need to give you all a free round of "Turbo-Normalising-Sanity-Injections" (be grateful all - these injections are rare here at SimV )

Here's some advice.
Never tell someone not to do something, cuz as sure as my username is str1ker, they'll go right ahead and do it.

Sometimes I think Katahu has been paid by M$ to say these things.  Just as many things are said as to what may or may not be in FSX. Katahu speaks as if he knows something that none else does!!!!
People here are ONLY EXPRESSING THEIR OPINIONS
If what he says are Cast Iron Facts then it's a different matter. But what he says is an opinion becauser we only know what M$ want's us to hear So for heavens sake allow others to express their opinions as well.
These are my words of advice!!!!!!

lol, just use the fs9 one then. fs9 planes work in fsX

Funny that, I distinctly remember a recent press release from Microsoft which categorically stated that FSX was indeed backward compatible. In-fact, I think the statement was published on this site.

Although I won't be buying FSX, I hope they don't model it on CFS3. It'll be scaled wrongly, have the worst dynamics yet seen in any sim, and generally be sh1te.

Ditto!

Another downside to the rumors is that they tend to bring up far too many expectations. As a result, the user will be disappointed once FSX is released and then the arguements will start pouring in short after. Thus resulting in the inevitable "reminders" that seasoned fans have to post on forums like these in order to qwell the arguements.

It's like a never-ending cycle that has certain number a phases.

Phase 1: Short after the release of a new simulator, some consumers start pouring out ideas for the next sim while some start complaining about the sim [which is just as inevitable].

Phase 2: The company that makes the simulator then starts implimenting the ideas provided by the consumers.

Phase 3: The company then announces the next sim.

Phase 4: Consumers then either criticise or welcome the new additions. As a result, rumors start flying [whether they are good or bad].

Phase 5: Expectations start to go too high until the next sim comes out.

Phase 6: The sim comes out. Either people criticise it or people welcome it.

This is what I have observed from most FS forums over the past 5 years.
