No, some have stated that their addons are guaranteed to be FSX compliant

Well assuming there'll be a more than likely "Aircraft" folder, we mite certianly use FS9 aircraft. Addon Scenery folders may be a different story. Even so there may be know options for adding scenery folders to the database. But then again, 19 hours to wait and see from now...

Eaglesoft has already made an fsX plane. Not sure if finished

Oh, and yes addons for fs2004 will work with fsX. Probably buggy though Wink

Why would the demo be released to a couple of wesites that use pay perscription, although there is a free download option. Why not MS's own website, or at FSinsider.
Seems very un-MS-ish to let people make money from an MS product??

On the contrary, MS never understood the concept of freeware or people doing something for the love of it.

Let me get this straight.....MS wants to market FSX to the masses.....release a demo.... but only on a pay site? ???

Is MS a small, struggling company that can't afford bandwith? Roll Eyes

Home airports are KMGJ and KSWF in Orange County, NY&&Stop by and say hello.

I had exactly the same thought! Could Work!
Btw. The only scenery featured in the demo is St Maartan (which i think is great!).

Also (as far as i know) the demo is free and you just have to join gamespot for free to get it.

Cant wait to see those water textures!!!! Grin
