The only improvement you will see is that it talks LESS like "HAL" from 2001: A Space Odessy and MORE like "Computer" in Star Trek. Grin

And they changed the color of the font, but that's about it. But in the missions there are real voices, like in the FSX Demo Carribean Landing mission.

High Flight Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew - And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God.&&

I deinstalled the demo some time ago but as I recall the ATC window was awful - much too big taking up half your window with loads of old dialogue in it. Don't know whether you could change it or not but I thought it was a big backward step from FS9 personally as I like to be able to see out of the screen - you know, for tedious events like landing  Wink

it was rather large, but thats why you close after you reply it and disable auto open when flying  Grin  maby someone nice enough will figure out a way to make a "mod" to the ATC window to get it smaller.

Ah, so many questions -- so little time . . .
" . . . but that's about it."
As I recall, many other pilot-voices use accents; of course, I was so busy enjoying the view, I didn't listen as closely as I should have for this report  Smiley

" . . . but with backward compatability ain't it......"
Well, R.B., you'll just have to buy a FSX copy to find out now, won't you?  Undecided

Buy for now . . .

It should be. I managed to resize it in the demo.
