I honestly dont think there will be an FS11 or beyond, I think FSX is the last installment, at least for many, many years to come

I doubt FSX is the last version. With every new DX version that comes out and with the way technology is progressing [thank you Moore's Law] there is bound to be some new improvements that the next version of FS can exploit.

I think it'll depend on the quality of FSX. If it comes out as a really good sim, with great graphic capabilities, very few bugs, etc... we won't need another sim for many years whereas if nobody likes it FSXI will come out sooner than we think. However, it also depends on the improvements a new version could give the simmers. It's useless to think about a FSXI if it's more or less the same as FSX.

But to answer the original question, I think there will bne better graphisms, new planes, etc.... unless they think about something very inovative Roll Eyes

.

I'm just thinking about it, it might seem absolutly stupid, but what if instead of FSXI Microsoft developped a game in which there's airplanes, helicopteres, but also cars, boats, sort of a global simulation game. The game would take something like 60GB on your HD, but wow, it'd be..... awesome? I know that you can't make a game with the same graphisms for cars and planes, because of the difference of speed, even the fastest computer wouldn't be able to run it...... but, weel that was just a crazy idea Tongue

Didn't we already achieve that in FS9? Grin

Yeah but I mean with better graphisms, for exemple they could add realistic roads, more realistic water, real harbours and so on.

Microsoft has already stated there will not be another FS release however it is based on the market.

If FSX is a money maker you can bet your ass there will be another release.

they better not pull another CFS3, or they lose out to the most money profiting piece of software they have EVER sold.

it's also their longest line of products, and still is best selling, most award winning, etc...

I say give them the extra year. we hare still living with FS9, and the plethora of addons will definetly keep us going, even well into FSX.not to mention this gives them time to perfect a working model, and the small details that will really make this one soar.

lol.

But seriously who cares? FSX is still like 3 months away and we're already dreaming about FS11?

But since we're already on the topic.... yes i'm 100% sure there's gonna be an FS11. Why not? I think alot of people who have never played the MSFS series are gonna pick up FSX with all the missions and stuff. The FS fanbase gets bigger every day. Why stop now?

I have seen and heard in the videos and press releases the word "culmination" mentioned many times. Here is the dictionary definition

culmination

noun
The highest or climactic point of something, especially as attained after a long time: the deal marked the culmination of years of negotiation.

So, I am of the opinion that FSX will be the last!!!
