Im typing from a laptop on a wireless connection form a dorm room so I've been a bit slow on updates Wink

So, I got to see the FSX exibit today and it was pretty cool! They were previewing the Beta version but still! (pictures to follow)

So some things i learned:

1) FSX will probably be out this october.
2) In multi-player mode, you will have three options, 1. Normal player, 2) Tower mode, 3) co-pilot. now, thats nothing new....but you have to have the Deluxe version to be a tower.
3) No aerodynamic smoke....Sad
4) There will be a Civil Air Patrol Maule. Cheesy
5) The deluxe version will contain more aircraft and missions.
6) They started working on FSX in Spring of 2003


I know alot more but that will have to wait.

I'm so happy. Grin

So let me guess, FS2004 was more like an experiment, correct? Grin

I think he's referring to the way that smoke is suppose to behaive when wind or fly-by's affect it.

It's only a beta version but still is pretty cool.

The Microsoft guy there was really nice and answered all my questions. He said he was glad to finally talk to someone that actually knows what there doing FS wise. Grin

Oh yeah, a few more things.

1) The Default oshkosh scenery is incredible!
2) They have/will fix the Heli dynamics.
3) i noticed on the Aircraft selection page that there are now thumbnails and not rotating models.
4) in-game, to switch your aircraft, it is know under a sub-folder called "FS obejects" I asked him what else was in the sub-folder but he said I'd have to wait to find out.
