Will FSX have a fully working FMC? I looked at screenshots and the FMC screen is blank. I'm just wondering if it will be "As Real As It Gets".

It is as real as it gets, as there is no real competition. At least in that area.

Also, though the ACES team has allot of recources, they cannot moddle the systems of the CRJ, Airbus, 737, and 747 at once while coding the actual game. To hard

actually, Microsoft "WILLLL" have some comp soon!!! 

www.fighterops.com , yes this is a military sim , but  the flight dynamics and everything are supposed to be the real deal. As i know most ppl here fly the mitary aircraft anyways, im sure you all will check this out. I encourage you to anyways.

Not really. MSFS has always been aimed for Civilian use. But that game looks cool

i bet soon they will merge FS and CFS all into one thing with options to have combat aspects and free flight

I beg to differ.

Pardon me for being so contrary, but if Microsoft wanted the FS series to strictly be a "civilian" simulator, then they would have hard-coded the sim in a way that prevents addons such as Mistuya's BMW, FS-Shipyard's submarines, and the shuttle package from ever coming to existence. But instead, they allowed the sim to have an open-architecture design so that addons developers like Kirk Olson, Bill Lyons, me, Mitsuya Hamaguchi, and many others can enjoy the opportunity of expanding the sim in many ways that were never thought possible.

Look at Project AI. The ACES team never anticipated that a website like Project AI would come up with such a near-endless list of available AI that represents real-world airlines and neither did they anticipate websites like FS-Shipyard to flurish without restraint.

So, there is no way that Microsoft could have intended to make FS strictly a civilian sim where all you could do is fly around in the confines of the earth's atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, if Microsoft never intended to merge a space sim with FS then why would they allow its users to travel through space in FSX? The same is true for cars.

Exactly. By my definition, a sim's status of whether it's a civilian, space, car or a combat sim is measured not only by the sim's ability to utilize weapons [like FSX's flour bombs] but it's also measured by how it is used by the user. For some people, it's a world simulator if they do virtually everything like launch into space, drive around, fly a rocket, etc. To those who strictly fly military jets, it's "somewhat" of a combat simulator. And vise versa.

So, to me it's a car sim. To sites like Deltasim, it's a boat sim. And to Ozzy, it's an inverted-spitfire sim.
