Very frame rate intensive, but pretty cool nontheless. You don't have to have any of the addons mentioned to use it. Wink

funny thing. Back in the days of FS2000, MS did a virtual Around-the-world flight on their FS community site. Anybody remember that? I still have my old certificate from it...lol
But anyway, there were a couple people who reported strange things on the forums that happening to their flightsims while flying through the bermuda triangle, though MS wasn't aware of any infamous bermuda triangle phenomena programmed into FS

but, now, you've been caught in one too many love triangles, the fairies have the wrong idea, your Bermuda shorts have triangulated down around your ankles causing too many moon landings and you figure there isn't a ghost of a chance of escaping from what already seems to be one 4377-of-an after-life.

I was getting worried and even prayed* about it much earlier today... you hadn't posted since May 29th.

Fortunately, that worked for me.

No.

Keepin' it simple huh? Grin

I doubt they did seeing as it is more of a reality game than anything...but then again they did put Area 51 and the Area 51 Mission in FSX.
